Rochford has always been interested in history and early American crafts. Through this interest, she became acquainted with the historical American floorcloths. She enjoys demonstrating and educating the public about this craft. During the last 13 years, she has made these canvas products for home as well as for sale. The first piece, a large 8ft. rug is still in her front hallway. Many of designs are inspired by the colonial canvases, although she creates original and contemporary designs. The products begin with natural heavy cotton canvas. This canvas is stretched and coated with primer, artwork done, then a protective coats applied. The final step involves creating a folded under and glued hem. In addition to participating in many shows, Rochford has produced many and varied custom pieces, including historical reproduction pieces. She also worked with interior designers and have taught numerous floorcloth production workshops.

Original folk art paintings are done on gessoed board using acrylics. A series of glazes seal the paintings and a shrink coat is applied to create cracks (the aged appearance). Oils are rubbed in to define the cracks. When dried, the shrink coat is washed off and a series of varnish coats are applied. the paintings are then placed in hand-grained and frequently lettered frames.

The Gina Clowes Project

An “absurdly talented banjoist” –Bluegrass Today

Main Stage (Schooley Mill Field) | 1pm – 3pm  Saturday, October 6

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ameqa0QMleA[/embedyt]

Gina Clowes’ innovative and unique musicianship and songwriting is based in traditional music, yet makes a new musical statement. She is a nominee for the International Bluegrass Music Asociation (IBMA) Banjo player of the year.

Gina (perhaps better known under her birth name, Gina Furtado) was born and raised in Front Royal, Virginia, began touring up and down the east coast in her tween years with her siblings wining awards in fiddlers conventions, dominating banjo competitions for 20 years, and earning a strong reputation in the regional bluegrass scene, and a stamp from Bluegrass Today as “absurdly talented”. She later played in a number of regional acts (Blue Light Special, New Girls Nite Out, On the Run, Bud’s Collective) and has made her international touring exposure with Chris Jones and the Night Drivers soon after joining the group. She is sought after as a teacher privately and at camps across the country. Her new album, True Colors, which was released in September 2017, debuted on bluegrass Billboard Charts at #13, had a number one hit on Roots Music Report, has appeared on Bluegrass Today’s Grassicana Charts, and has received sparkling reviews from critics. Gina and her tune “Saylor’s Creek” was featured on the cover of Banjo Newsletter.

Gina will be joined by her sister Malia Furtado who is an amazing fiddle player.

ARTISAN-SEAL
Landmark Artisan

Kara Wood Designs has been creating wonderful woodwork for over 20 years. All of the shapes and patterns are original designs done by John Kara. The business started in the early 1990’s and consisted strictly of collapsible baskets. Years later, John got the idea to angle-cut different shapes such as angels, trees and crosses. We work in an individual studio where we use hardwoods and laminations of hardwoods to make the artwork.
