It was a perfectly, gorgeous night for an art opening!

Other news: Sunday, August 28th, Hatch will have a booth at Orton Park Festival… Here is a link. http://www.marquette-neighborhood.org/activities/index.php?category_id=4733&subcategory_id=7864  Hatch will also be open, with our favorite potter, Jenny Blasen, working in the shop.

We’ve had a lot of new work arrive in the shop lately. Here are some photos …

Steve Wirtz paper mache sculptures.
McKenzie Glynn makes wallets and clutches from discarded banners. Wallets are $22 and clutches are $48. A range of colors and designs... no two are alike:)

Vintage Chic is spot on for this pair of lovely and kinda hard to find, ice cream parlor chairs (1930's?)... Twisted wrought iron and newly constructed seats will hold you up no problem:) $98 each.
Tote Bags...a great use of vintage fabric! Lightweight and the perfect size. Be the envy of your fellow farmer's market shoppers:) $26 by Naystalgia Vintage Creations.

Juliet Darken, August Featured Artist

The featured Hatch Art House artist for August is Juliet Darken… an illustrator, designer, fine artist, and Madison native.  She creates whimsical, yet sophisticated pieces with traditional relief printmaking techniques, sometimes with small additions of collage and graphite. This involves a complex process of reversing the original design, carving, and printing each color as a separate layer. In her opinion, the most important thing for people to learn is how to communicate, and she enjoys adding her personal visual language to the human conversation.

Stop by Hatch from 6-9pm to celebrate Juliet’s work! Refreshments will be served. There is a parking lot behind Hatch off of Baldwin St.
