Two Families Become One crafting Wood Jewelry Boxes
W E M A K E Y O U K I N D L Y W E L C O M E Shaker Woods F ESTIVAL 217 State Route 7 COLUMBIANA, OH 44408 Columbiana, Ohio SATURDAY AND SUNDAY • 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. AUGUST 13-14, 20-21, 27-28, 2016 H A N D S T O W O R K H E A R T S T O G O D Richard and Lisa Menkel Michael Franklin Two Families Become One Crafting Wood Jewelry Boxes R ichard and Lisa Menkel and their son Michael Franklin are the artisans that make up Against the Grain: RLM Designs. This is their first appearance at Shaker Woods. Together, they turn domestic and exotic hardwoods into functional pieces of art. The jewelry boxes they create are the culmination of hours of hard work and lots of love. Twenty-seven years ago, Richard made a little wooden duck for a neighbor. She loved it and he was asked to make another one. The next thing he knew, neighbors, friends, coworkers and strangers started asking him if he could build them something. While doing this, he discovered a passion for woodworking and the process involved in crafting it into various things. He began making small household items for local craft shows and fell in love with building and selling wood crafts. About six years ago, Richard met Lisa while taking classes for a master’s degrees. They became friends and got to know each other outside the classroom. When Lisa found out about his woodworking, she offered to help. While she hadn’t done any woodworking before, she was excited to learn a new skill and was a quick learner. Soon afterward Lisa’s oldest son Michael (though he prefers to be called Franklin) asked Richard to help him build a wedding gift. Michael didn’t have experience with power tools or woodworking, so Richard showed him some techniques and tools to use. Michael was a natural and loved working on the gift so much that Richard asked him to help with the shop. And the rest is history. “The three of us work well together. So well in fact that I asked Lisa to marry me,” Richard said. The couple married in November 2015 and work in the garage behind the house where they live in Washington, Pa. This trio is a great team. Each has a particular set of skills and brings something unique to the shop. Richard has an eye for rough cut lumber. With a well-trained eye, he sees the potential for beauty by matching grain patterns and colors. Michael has only been cutting on a band saw for a few years, but is very creative and as quick a learner as his mother. Lisa hand sands and stains all the pieces bringing out the natural beauty and colors of the various woods. The boxes aren’t just beautiful to look at; they’re useful pieces to store precious or even daily used items such as rings, watches, necklaces, cuff links, glasses, keys, keepsakes and collectibles. You can see examples of their work on Facebook, but for a truly breathtaking experience make sure to visit them at booth 143. 2 Shaker Woods F ESTIVAL Kara Hohn Letter from the Promoter Hope You Like Our “Tweaks” E stablished more than three decades ago, the Shaker Woods Festival has long been considered one of the premier craft events in the country. With this type of reputation, it would be easy to sit back and rest on our laurels. But, we’re not going to do that. Instead, we continue to look for ways to improve the “Simple Life” experience. So, here’s what we’ve been doing to prepare for another successful festival: • Expanded and adjusted handicap parking with easier access to the woods; • Built new craft booths; • Added new menu selections; • Doubled the number of picnic tables and benches; and • Increased the amount of portable restrooms. Don’t miss out on this year’s outstanding line-up of skilled crafters, talented musicians and exceptional concessionaires situated in a magical wooded setting. It’s Shaker Woods Festival time.

If You Are Self-Contained, You Can Stay on the Shaker Woods Grounds. The Answer to a Messy Problem S ew Appealing offers handmade fabric goods, including aprons, baby and toddler bibs, burp cloths and embroidered tote bags. Careful attention is paid to choosing quality materials, assembling them in a functional way and preparing beautiful products that festival-goers will be proud to purchase for themselves or as gifts. Owner Kara Hohn is a stay-at-home mom, or a work from home mom, depending on whom you ask. She’s inspired by such designers and retailers as Lilly Pulitzer, Matilda Jane, Gymboree, Pottery Barn and Vera Bradley. Every item is handmade from fabrics and materials that Kara “obsessively” selects. Moms, grandmothers, caregivers and gift-givers will find useful, functional pieces from Sew Appealing. As a young mother, Kara learned she could make better baby care items than what was sold in traditional retailers. Her business started small; it was born from discussions with moms about what would help them care for their children.

Farm Grown Furniture T wenty years ago, Sam Bard and Kevin Moat were professional ice skaters for Holiday on Ice. Today, they’re successful entrepreneurs in Clyde, Ohio. Sam and Kevin started Botanically Built 15 years ago literally from the ground up. Culling from their six acre farm, they make rustic twig furniture and dried floral decorations. They create the furniture from sticks and use the end bits for wreaths. Their inventory includes small chairs, benches, love seats, wreaths, swags and more. “First, we used all kinds of wood to make our furniture,” Sam said. “But our customers really like the curly willow, so we started planting curly willow trees on our farm.” He added, “In our local area, everyone comes to us when they need a floral arrangement.” Items come in different sizes, shapes, designs and prices and can be delivered to funeral homes, hung on walls, for display purposes or as decorations. The average twig wreath, for example, is 24 to 36 inches, while larger ones are up to 5-foot by 6-foot. The full-time farm florists enjoy making custom pieces for special occasions and gifts. The duo encourage customers to provide their own materials. One customer brought in an antique ironing board, which Sam and Kevin beautifully decorated with silver flowers for a bridal shower. A gift for a farmer, on the other hand, included wheat. Their flower garden is so large that they regularly sell excess inventory to local florists.

She enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter and their dogs, as well as yard saling and antique shopping. Amber works in the veterinary field when she’s not creating stories of enchantment. By combining descriptive details with valuable lessons, her stories are engaging for all ages. “I like to write stories where it prompts us to look beneath the surface of what’s in front of us,” Amber said. “I like to make the reader think, what if this was true? How fantastic would that be?” Her book, “The Littlest Acorn,” takes place deep in the forest with the yearly Crunchy Leaves Festival approaching. With summer giving way to fall, autumn’s majestic change provides the perfect setting as the crunchy leaves begin to drift slowly from the trees and onto the ground. Shaker Woods is actually the setting Amber used as the backdrop, thanks to her many visits to the festival! But the festival isn’t just special for the people of this small town; it’s also special for the animals that call this forest their home. Despite the daunting task of stocking up for the winter, the animals can hardly contain their excitement as they prepare for their own Crunchy Leaves Festival. However, amid the excitement one little squirrel, Sophie, finds herself sad and lonely. Not feeling as pretty as the other squirrels, Sophie believes her tail isn’t as bushy, shiny and full as the others and that her big, falling down glasses alienate her from the group. Fortunately, an owl named Sir Frederick James notices Sophie’s distress and swoops down to help, giving her a magic acorn to help her realize how important she is. Amber Fuentes’ vivid imagery and rich illustrations place readers so deep into the middle of the festival, they can almost feel the leaves crunching beneath their feet. “I want to make the reader feel like they’re part of the book,” Amber said. “I want them to be able to relate to not only the character, but also different elements of the story. I want them to understand and appreciate the importance of selfworth and kindness. Perhaps you relate to Sophie or maybe you’ll seize the opportunity and make a difference like Sir Frederick James; either way we all can relate in some way.” Amber’s book is available through Barnes and Noble, Archway Publishing and Amazon. She travels for book presentations and personalization events. Visit her at the Shaker Woods Schoolhouse from 11 a.m. to Noon, 1 to 2 p.m. and 3 to 4 p.m each day for a personalized copy!

Bob remembered one of his former students worked his way through college making jewelry and enjoyed it so much he became a jeweler. He also recalled Navy buddies during World War II who made jewelry for their girlfriends from silver tableware. The idea fascinated him and he began experimenting making bracelets from spoon handles. Bob cut away the spoon end and bent the handles this way and that until he had a pleasing shape. Then, he added a jump ring, a clasp and a small trademark [charm] to the bracelet. “He has an artistic gift that lay dormant all those years,” his wife said. “He never tires of working with the silverware and he’s constantly experimenting with new ideas.” Bob found the tines of salad forks make beautiful earrings and he could turn an oyster fork into a custom ring. Spoon bowls had endless possibilities. Joan and their friends who received gifts were the first models and encouraged him to continue. “Many people ask where we get the silverware - all silver plate,” Joan said. “Is it safe to invite you to dinner, they ask me?” Actually, Bob’s artistic endeavor requires Joan’s savvy shopping: “Bob says I have a knack for choosing the right patterns at auctions, flea markets and secondhand stores. Every silver pattern isn’t a winner.” Joan admits she made some mistakes in the beginning. Her 15year experience as Bob’s material buyer, quality control person and jewelry consultant at craft shows makes it possible for her to advise customers who want them to turn family heirlooms into jewelry.

Custom colors and sizes are available. t s a y l r C C a e h T Handpainted Glass & More ve #54 rowing up in a family where food and cooking were a way of life, Pat Chrystal always felt right at home in the kitchen. He enjoyed cooking for family and friends so much that he and a partner renovated and opened the Open Hearth Grill on Youngstown’s west side. Customers not only enjoyed the meals but also Pat’s camaraderie and humor. Pat’s passion for cooking didn’t go unnoticed by his son Patrick. Patrick helped out in the kitchen at the Open Hearth Grill while in high school, then attended Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I., where he earned bachelor’s degrees in culinary arts and hospitality and event management. Patrick trained on the east coast throughout Providence and Newport, as well as in Marlboro, Mass, then returned to Youngstown to pursue his dream of owning a restaurant “back home.” Patrick, his parents Pat and Sandy, and his sister Shawn were all involved in Patrick’s Chophouse at Lock 24 in Lisbon. Patrick created a recipe for stuffed Hungarian hot peppers that he and his Dad began making for friends, Irish conventions and golf outings. The hot pepper sandwiches were so well liked that people began hinting the duo should take them on the road! Sadly, Patrick passed away in 2007. In honor of Patrick’s memory, Pat built a food trailer and “Patty McPeppers and his Irish Tenders” was born. Menu items consisting of stuffed hot Hungarian peppers, barbecued pork tenderloin, Guinness brat sandwiches and Rueben rolls were a hit with the customers he and his brother, Pete, served at various special events. Some years later, Pat and Pete met a man who imported brick pizza ovens from Italy. From that chance meeting, Pete’s-A-Place was born. Pat designed and built the trailer that houses their pizza oven from the ground up. After much experimenting, they’re now known for some of the best pizzas in Ohio. What started as a hobby and love of stuffed hot peppers has evolved into being part of the Shaker Woods Festival family. Pat and Pete couldn’t be more excited!

Vanessa Campagna Performing: August 13 & 14 at The Garden Stage I t is her commanding presence and captivating stage personality along with her dynamic and versatile voice that has made Vanessa Campagna a fan favorite. These traits along with her passion to perform have earned her the opportunity to work with some of the most successful entertainers in the music industry and at many of the most prestigious music venues across the country. It is her diversity, yet vocal purity that earned her the respect of world-renowned multi-award winning, director/composer, Marvin Hamlisch; who claimed, “Vanessa is the real deal”. She was both honored and humbled when he asked her to join him for a variety of shows with the National, Buffalo Philharmonic, and Pittsburgh Symphonies. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said after one of her shows, “… the blossoming star power and whopping voice of young Vanessa Campagna shined brightly” and in the words of the Buffalo News, “Vanessa is a precociously gifted vocal powerhouse and a mature singer reminiscent of a young Celine Dion.” She was only 10 years old when she was chosen out of 24,000 youngsters to appear on CBS’ Star Search. Since then, she has shared the stage with some of the greatest artists in the music industry such as Reba, Sugarland, Trace Adkins, Blake Shelton, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Loretta Lynn, Keith Urban and more. In Vanessa’s eyes, dreams are meant to come true! Her passion for music continues to grow and shine. The sky truly is the limit for this bright young star.

My products are unique in the Arts and Craft business because I feature wood products each incorporating Hand Sculpted artwork. My pieces are all original designs that utilize a marble sculpting compound, hand detailing and time intensive antiquing process, which in turn gives them a very rich, old world appearance. As an added benefit to all of my customers, I finish all the pieces for either indoor or outdoor display and actively copyright each one to assure you that you will not find anything like them anywhere else. Please stop by for our regular demonstrations and experience works of art that are pleasing to behold and a joy to own and collect. Thank You “Last year, acquaintances asked us to make jewelry they received in the mail from their grandparents in East Germany. Over a period of time, they received some of the packages that were sent, but some were lost and they didn’t have a complete set,” Joan said. “There wasn’t enough to use as tableware, but they were thrilled we were able to make enough jewelry that everyone in the family could have mementoes to share.” Although all jewelry they display at Shaker Woods is made of silver-plated tableware, many of their custom orders are made from a family’s sterling silver. “Sterling silver is so expensive that we couldn’t afford to buy it and try to resell it as jewelry. However, sterling silver tableware makes beautiful jewelry,” she said. Bob makes rings and bracelets in several sizes, and at Shaker Woods, Joan takes the time to make sure each piece fits the buyer, saying, “You may find people crowded around our booth because buying our jewelry is very much one-on-one. We want each person to be perfectly satisfied. When you craft because you love to do it, hearing firsthand how people enjoy our jewelry adds to our pleasure.” It’s been 17 years since the Schriever’s made their first appearance at Shaker Woods. While the product line has changed during the 30-plus years Silver “Wear” has been in business, the quality of its service and workmanship is still the “best!” Bob, at 90 years young, still makes bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants, but is teaching daughter Linda the skills required #51 to keep the special brand of jewelry as a family business. Granddaughter Dana participates when school and social events allow. Joan is retired from Silver “Wear” but often gets asked for her opinion and to conduct quality control, which she generously provides with a smile. Adult bracelets range in price from $25 to $35. A selection of top quality Most rings are $15, but some are $20. Earrings exciting and unique specialty food are priced at $12 and pendants range from $16 products prepared with pride and to $45. a passion for perfection.

Then, next in her line, were bibs large enough to cover her own toddler and be fastened with a snap so he couldn’t pull off the bib. Early on at a local farmer’s market, a few customers requested aprons and Kara soon realized that aprons were becoming popular again (and that she loved picking the coordinating fabrics.) Her business has grown steadily in the past eight years. One of the best compliments she received was that the toddler bibs have washed and worn so well that satisfied customers are handing them down to new moms. One customer said, “The bibs still look so nice even after several years!” All bibs, burp cloths and toddler bibs are backed in soft absorbent chenille. Sew Appealing also works with two bakeries that wear (and wash) her aprons daily. The employees love how beautiful the aprons look many months later! This is Sew Appealing’s first year at the Shaker Woods Festival. Kara grew up in Butler, Pa., then lived in Medina, Ohio for eight years, where Sew Appealing began. It was a big decision to leave a loyal customer base when she moved back to her hometown in 2014. Sew Appealing participates in festivals between western Pa. and Eastern Ohio. Please stop by booth 139 for quality thoughtful items for you and your little ones. Shaker Woods F ESTIVAL 17 Lindsay Jean-Marie ADAM “Walk Softly” - Shaker Hymn When we assemble here to worship God, To sing his praises and to hear his word We will walk softly. While we are passing thro’ the sacred door, Into the fold where Christ has gone before, We will walk softly. We’ll worship and bow down we will rejoice With purity of heart; and with clean hands, Our souls are free, we’re free from Satan’s bands And when we hear the shepherd’s gentle voice We will walk softly. We will walk softly. Fashion You’ll Flip Over L indsay Jean-Marie Adam is a fashion designer and textile artist from Akron, Ohio. After graduating from the University of Akron with a bachelor of fine arts in fashion merchandising degree in 2003, she started designing her own knitwear collection for women and young girls. Working from a home studio, Lindsay develops her own patterns. Among them is her signature flip sweater, for which she’s known throughout the U.S. Two different looks from one sweater Lindsay spent five years perfecting this unique and versatile type of sweater. “It’s great for all climates because of the open stitch,” she said. “Simply wear the sweater long or flip upside down and wear short. The short look can also provides a hood. You get two sweaters in one!” Along with hundreds of sweaters to choose from, this wearable art fashion designer also creates gorgeous ponchos, gloves, scarves, shawls and vests. Plus, she designs and hammers metal pins to hold the scarves in place. Working eight or more hours a day six days a week, she takes great pride in her open weave style and loves sharing her expertise combining different textiles. Examples include a faux fur yarn with a soft plush cotton blend and a silk bamboo yarn along with a bumpy chenille yarn. “My sweaters have an unusual flare to them with a tailored scoop back accenting the beauty of a KAREN BIERY Karen Biery Author/Artist Booth 11 Original art, slates, wood, and “Create Your Own” Stegall’s Stoneware #76 Alan and Nancy Stegall SHOW SPECIAL GRANDPARENT MUGS 20 Each $ (Includes OH state sales tax) 1-800-788-7697 www.stegallspottery.com [email protected] woman’s figure,” she said. Lindsay learned about fashion and textiles by watching her mother and grandmother transform yarn and fabric into masterpieces, adding, “Growing up, I was blessed to be around powerful women. They taught me to keep moving forward, follow my dreams and never look back for any moment.” It’s no wonder then that this fashion knitwear artist’s motto is: Confident Women Wear Wearable Art Pieces by Lindsay Jean-Marie.

That little rag doll with a white eyelet apron and red hair turned into a family business called Little Friends Cloth Dolls. Maria was born and raised in Ambridge, Pa., where her mother taught her how to hand sew at a young age. Her dad was a barber and his customers would leave newspapers behind, which Maria used to make patterns. Later, when married and living in Brunswick, Ohio, she inherited her mom’s antique treadle sewing machine. Maria taught Nikki and son Michael how to sew and stuff body parts. She gave most of her early creations to family, friends and charities to raise funds for children and abused women. She recalls being told, “Those little dolls of yours make me smile.” In 1980, a local show promoter convinced Maria to sell her dolls at a show and to her surprise all of them sold! The fourth bedroom of her home became the official sewing room. A newer and faster sewing machine was purchased. Husband George built shelves for storage. And she started collecting fabric, lace and buttons, baskets for the dolls to hold, along with small bears, rabbits and cats for the dolls to carry, and anything that might make each doll unique. When traveling, Maria found new treasures for the dolls, including colorful fabrics, vintage children’s books, hats, American flags, antique jewelry and different color yarns for hair. No two of the whimsical folk art rag dolls are the same. The range in size from 12 to 36 inches and have a raggedy or little girl’s face. Different color yarns and threads are used for hair. Customers often give Maria cherished “hankies” handed down from a grandmother or a keepsake piece of jewelry to create dolls in memory of loved ones or for gifts. In 1993, Little Friends Cloth Dolls became part of the Shaker Woods family. During those three glorious weekends, Maria sold every doll she made. She promised Sue Ferguson she’d be better prepared the following year for her new customers. Maria says most of the dolls are purchased by ladies who love collecting and decorating or to give Continued on page 23 Shaker Woods F ESTIVAL 21 Lindsay Jean-Marie Adam continued from page 17 to manufacture women’s apparel that makes women feel good about themselves. She believes in encouraging women to express themselves and strives for sophistication and elegance with her colorful creations, which come in black, grey, off-white, tan, taupe and white to name just a few. Lindsay exhibits at shows throughout the U.S. and is excited to be at Shaker Woods, booth 162, for the first time. She welcomes custom orders, saying, “I strive in giving each customer a oneof-a-kind experience.” Every time you see The Lindsay Collection, you’ll see something new as she changes her materials all the time.

The former billboard painter turned chainsaw artist will create three to four carvings each day of the show. To determine what to carve, he often asks kids what they want to see. Ken first witnessed chainsaw carving at the Iowa State Fair 16 years ago. While living in Iowa, he took a carving class, participated in a competition and beat the teacher. “I just got it. It made sense to me. I call it the art of subtraction. I went nuts with it,” he said. “I never looked back.” Since then, he’s returned to Butler, become a multiple award-winner on the international carving competition circuit and was featured on the Canadian reality television series “Saw Dogs.” Today, this self-employed chainsaw carver works 40 hours a week, producing one creation after another, most of them large. “Each one makes me better,” he said. Ken’s sculptures include superheroes, animals and faces, for which he’s best known. That’s no doubt due to the years he spent painting faces of realtors and lawyers on billboards. His keen eye for faces is exemplified in his lifelike artwork. His preferred wood is white pine because it stands up better, although he’s currently working with a metal sculptor to combine both materials. Another project in the making is of Piratesgreat Roberto Clemente for Graham Park in Cranberry Township, Pa. If you’ve never witnessed chainsaw carving, here’s your chance to see this increasingly popular art form. Visit the Simple Gifts Stage August 13-14, 20-21 and 27 (10:30- 11:30 a.m.) (12:30- 1:30 p.m.) (2:30- 3:30 p.m.) to witness the talented Ken Tynan in action.

Many customers stop by the booth to chat and carry on the tradition of purchasing her handmade rag dolls. Customers began asking Maria to start a website. In 2014, her son Michael helped design www. littlefriendsdolls.com. Thanks to the website, Maria has formed many friendships throughout the U.S. Today, Maria designs dolls for every holiday, season and show. She welcomes special requests. “It’s been a great journey and as long as my hands can keep sewing, I’ll continue,” Maria said. “I now have two granddaughters, and of course they have my handmade dolls. Evgenia, our five- year-old granddaughter, has claimed the sewing room as her favorite place in our home where she plays with unfinished and finished dolls, helping me decide what necklace this one should wear or whether the dolly should hold on tight to a teddy bear.” Maria will be at booth 50 at this year’s show. “Do your work as if you had a thousand years to live, and as if you were to die tomorrow.” 9988 Market Street • North Lima, Ohio 44452 (Exit 232 Turnpike, North on Route 7, 1/4 mile) Tel: (330) 549-0157 • Fax: (330) 549-9995 “A waste of time chasing the past.
