Textures Handmade Market

We want to congratulate Lucy and Leo’s Cupcakery on a successful First night of being OPEN! We are so proud of them and are so excited to share the new location. There will be lots of good times ahead. We are looking forward to the adventure!

Check this out…

Local artist (& Textures Artist), Jeff Zenick was featured in the Op-Ed section of the New York Times on June 5th. We are so proud of him and his amazing work!!

Way to go Jeff!!!

We have some t-shirts hand painted by Jeff at the shop right now. Be sure to come by and get yours before they are gone.

So… as you may or may not know, we are moving locations. We are super excited about all of the new and exciting opportunities that we will have in our new space.  We are always looking for new artists to be a part of the Textures community, especially now that we are moving. If you are an artist or you know of an artist who might be interested in selling their wares through Textures, now is the time to apply. We have a spiffy new electronic application , so it’s super easy to submit your info.

As of now it looks like we will be opening on July 1st with a Grand Opening to follow soon there after.

Keep an eye out for Workshop info….. COMING SOON!!

Spread the word… Tell all of your friends and family about Textures.

We have some really BIG, exciting news…. Textures Handmade Market is moving to Midtown in Tallahassee. We loved every moment of the time we spent in the All Saints District and are sad to leave all of our friends and neighbors, however, we are super excited for this big move. The opportunity came a knockin’ and we couldn’t resist!! We will soon be located at 1123 Thomasville Road along with Lucy and Leo’s Cupcakery, who sell the most fantastic cupcakes you’ve ever tasted!! My personal favorite is the Red Velvet Cupcake, although I haven’t tasted a bad one yet.

Our plan is to be in the new shop by the beginning of July, so keep an eye out for updates and sales along the way. You can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and if you aren’t already, you should get on our e-mail list. There will be a lot of good information coming your way.

Over the past year and a half, we have had many people interested in taking classes such as sewing, book making, collage, etc. In the new space we are finally going to be able to make that possible!!! We are super pumped about this opportunity. We want to share our knowledge with you and promote creativity all at the same time. So, pull out your crafty pants and get excited about making things with your hands… The Craft Revival is coming your way!! We will have information and a calendar of workshops coming soon!!

Every body together…. Hip Hip Hooraaaaaaay!!!

The festivities start at noon, so gather your family and friends and head out for a fun day in the sun. There will be twelve bands on four stages, also, dozens of nonprofit organizations, green businesses and local government programs promoting conservation, sustainability and “green” living. The exhibition will also include artists, craftsmen, fair trade distributors and food and drink vendors.

The Riverside Arts Market was a HUGE success!! Over 40,000 people showed up for the inaugural market. Being that I am from Jacksonville, I got to see lots of old friends, which was really fun. The Textures booth went over well. People really liked everything we had to offer, and we were busy the whole day. We will be back on April 25th. If you know anyone in Jacksonville, send them our way!!

I am going to be at the Riverside Arts Market this Saturday!!! If you are in Jacksonville, stop by and say hello. It seems like this is going to a really fantastic ongoing event. Just think… Lots of art, local produce, great music, all under the canopy of the Fuller Warren Bridge!

I am bringing my own work along with work made by several other Textures artists. We have lots of amazing stuff, you aren’t going to want to miss this! I wont be back to the market until April 25th.
