 Suzanne Buczkowski from "A Faerytale Explosion" delighted us two years ago with her handcrafted fairy wings and returns this year with a fabulous array of fantasy work. |
 Gary Russell comes to Nederland each year from Rifle, Colorado with his unique and fabulous ironwork. In an era of plasma cutters and laser/computer generated figures, Gary still uses a hand-held flame cutting torch to cut his artistic designs out of steel plate, and is known by his peers as one of the best 'cutters' in the country. |
 Byron Williams of Accoceek Baskets and Gourds was last year's Best of Show artist. A full-time studio artist for fifteen years, Byron winters in Maryland and summers in Saguache, Colorado where he plans to open a gallery. Each of his pieces are one-of-a-kind. |
