Merino Wool Blanket Class @ the Artifcatory!

I am so excited to share with you the very first class of 2017 @the_artifactory ! Have you ever wanted to learn how to create one of these delicious throws? Well now is your chance to make this SEVEN POUND beauty! By taking this class, you will learn a lifelong skill that you can use over and over again to make scarves, blankets, etc. The coolest part is that this entire throw is made with your arms, no knitting needles needed! Once you try this, you will be asking, "Where has arm knitting and merino wool been all my life?" If you know anything about merino wool, it is the best, softest wool on the market. Because the cost of the wool is prohibitive, a $100 non-refundable deposit is required at time of reservation. This class will take place @the_artifactory on Sunday, January 22 from 2-4:30pm. You will complete the entire blanket in one sitting! Total cost for materials and instruction is $200. You can reserve by calling or texting Amy at 405.640.5397. — at Artifactory.

Artifactory opens January 31st!

I have had a dream my entire life to share my art and ideas with the world.  Thanks to my parents, family and friends, I am delighted to say that it has actually come to be!  This Saturday, January 31st, we officially open the doors to the public.

Artifactory is a magical place to create art embracing the past. Filled with lots of vintage goodies and unique finds, you will be inspired.  The Artifactory is the perfect home for my creations, as I always incorporate vintage materials into my work.   CurlyQMosaics is what I am known for.  Windows, calendars, and mixed media pieces are what I create.  Every single piece has a history and story all of its own.

In addition to the wonderful wares, I will be offering art classes! Inviting customers into my creative world, I will walk you through many wonderful creations that you can make and cherish forever. Incorporating tons of one-of-a-kind vintage ephemera, these will definitely be unique and coveted by many.

Here are a few sneak peeks of the store in all its glory...
