Makers Spotlight!: Boneshaker Print Shop, Fruition Chocolate, Pulp Sushi, Tivoli Tile Works, and Vernacular Design.

Boneshaker Print Shop – You wanted one of those old-school uptown Kingston map t-shirts too, didn’t you? Steve’s locally-inspired t-shirts were a huge hit at last year’s Hullabaloo, so visit his table early this year before he sells out!  In addition to his awesome shirts, Boneshaker Print Shop in Kingston designs and screen prints awesome album packages, show posters, and more.  He specializes in custom work, so ask him about getting some swag printed for your business!

Fruition Chocolate – Bryan Graham and his award-winning “bean to bar” chocolate have received accolades in numerous local and national publications, including being named one of the “Top 10 Chocolatiers in North America” by The Dessert Professional. In his workshop in Shokan, he slowly roasts and stone-grinds hand-selected organic, fair trade cocoa beans to create chocolate bars, chocolate coated nuts and dried fruits, brown butter  bourbon caramels, and the incredible dark chocolate coated jalapeno dusted corn nuts. Buy two of whatever you decide to give as gifts—because the first won’t make it home! We’re so excited that Fruition will be returning to Hullabaloo this year!

Pulp Sushi –Marilyn is returning to Hullabaloo with her “haunting handmade” jewelry, inspired by Gothic, Retro, and Victorian styles (“a time machine gone haywire,” she says!). She uses new materials like charms, beads, and pearls, along with found vintage materials, in her modernly nostalgic earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.  Her pieces make great gifts and stocking stuffers for anyone who appreciates any of the styles that influence Pulp Sushi’s trendy-but-timeless designs. Marilyn is from Fishkill, NY and is a leader of the Hudson Valley Etsy Team. Stop and say hello!

Tivoli Tile Works Caroline splits her time between Rhinebeck and the west coast of Ireland, and we’re glad she’s in town to join us at Hullabaloo for the first time! Trained in sculpture and painting, Caroline finds pottery to be “the perfect synthesis of her two loves.” She creates fine, collectable hand-thrown pottery and functional art such as bowls, mugs, pitchers, plates, vases, and other pieces that are simultaneously colorful and lively, but seem straight out of quaint country farmhouse.  She also has a gorgeously understated “Snow White” collection and some pieces painted with birds and other designs. Imagine them on your holiday table…totally Instagram-worthy!

Vernacular Design Growing up in the Hudson Valley, Jack developed an appreciation of historic architecture and went on to study historic design principles, patterns, and tools. He applies this knowledge, and the skills he honed renovating his 1790s farmhouse, to build gorgeous custom furniture, and do restoration work. He’s bringing his smaller, giftable pieces—like cutting boards, knife blocks, and other home accessories—to his first Hullabaloo…Pick something up for the gourmet or the home owner who appreciates fine craftsmanship!

Makers Highlight!: Yard Sale Press, Honeybrook Farms, Andrew Molleur, Harp and Thistle Stitchery, J&L Pawsitively Perfect Pooch Treats, and Twisted Thread and Hook.

Yard Sale Press Bryan joins us from Jackson, NJ for his first Hullabaloo. Many of his humorous and happy prints feature funny food and witty everyday objects. They make great gifts to brighten spaces and put a smile on faces! Hang the “Lookin’ Good” comb print in your bathroom for daily positive reinforcement or put the Pop Art-inspired “Ketchup, on Everything” print in your kitchen!

Honeybrook Farms Todd has been a beekeeper since 1968, learning from a master beekeeper in Germany as a youngin’! His 100% natural honey and honey bee products are completely raw, unprocessed, uncooked, strained-only, and local—“direct from the beehive to you!” He offers wildflower honey, buckwheat honey, bee pollen and more, wholesaling to customers from the apiary in Pine Bush.  This is Honeybrook’s first Hullabaloo, so stop by, say hello, and get something sweet to fill the stockings this year!

Andrew Molleur – Andrew Molleur is a ceramic artist in Kingston, NY. Inspired and influenced by architecture, he uses a combination of traditional and modern techniques to create modern vases, planters, and other functional pieces with clean lines and geometric patterns.  His work is available in several local stores including Clay, Wood & Cotton in Beacon, Scandinavian Grace in Shokan, and Culture + Commerce Project in Hudson. Check out the ceramic animals in his menagerie too! 

Harp and Thistle Stitchery – Erin’s adorable handmade needle punch  ornaments, tapestries, wall hangings, wearable art, sachets, and more have been featured on The Martha Stewart Show, marthastewart.com, Apartment Therapy, SheKnows.com, and many other blogs, sites, and publications. Using this ancient rug-hooking technique, Erin creates both holiday and everyday items that fit every aesthetic—she’s stocked with pieces featuring everything from traditional and folk-art subjects like Santas and birds, to whimsical woodland animals, from avocados and sushi rolls, to 3D anatomical hearts! Erin is heading up from NYC to join us at Hullabaloo again and we’re pleased as (needle-) punch to have her back!

J&L Pawsitively Perfect Pooch Treats This mother and daughter team (helped out on occasion by their Chief Tasting Officers Sophie and Bailey) bakes fresh, natural dog treats from their Hopewell Junction kitchen. They use only human-grade ingredients, with no animal by-products, fillers, chemicals, or preservatives, and add no sugars, salts, or artificial flavors. Their peanut butter and apple biscuits are making US drool, so imagine how much your pooches will love them!

Twisted Thread and Hook Magdalena makes her rope rugs and mats, fleece rugs, and rope décor (like coasters, curtain ties, ornaments, and more) in NYC. This is her first Hullabaloo, and we’re thrilled to have such a unique maker among us! Her nautical, beachy-chic rugs and accessories are inspired by her childhoods spent on the lakes in Poland and her love of crocheting. They fit perfectly with any décor and the soft texture of the rope provide a delightful foot massage! The gift that keeps giving… 

Makers spotlight! Elizabeth Grubaugh Creative, Adam Lauricella, Field Apothecary, Exit 343 Design, Rockerbox Spice Co., and Zoo Kids Clothing!

Elizabeth Grubaugh Creative – Elizabeth returns to Hullabaloo with her beautiful collection of handmade gifts featuring prints she has designed in her Newburgh, NY studio.  From pillows and paperweights to silkscreened cards and prints, from coin purses to clothing, her vibrantly chic patterns and prints make great gifts for anyone who appreciates bold-but-sophisticated design!

AdamLauricella.jpg

Adam Lauricella – The multi-talented owner of our sponsor Graceland Tattoo brings his fine and folk art to the arty party! While there are common themes and elements, much of Adam’s fine art illustrations and paintings are looser than the traditional style tattoos he inks on his clients.  Those familiar with his work will notice that his appreciation of religious iconography, symbolism, juxtaposition, and repetition carry through, however. His paintings and drawings tell stories and communicate his interpretations of ideas and concepts that speak to him. Check them out at Hullabaloo and give someone on your list the gift of original art!

Field Apothecary – Talk about made-from-scratch!: Field Apothecary grows their organic herbs on their own farm in Germantown, NY, harvests and processes them by hand, and creates tinctures, extracts, bitters, tonics, syrups, oils, salves, salts, teas, soda kits, and other herbal remedies and culinary treats.  They have been featured in numerous local and not-so-local publications, teach classes and workshops, and offer an herbal CSA! Give the gift of wellness from returning Hullabaloo vendor Field Apothecary this holiday season and support a business whose products are local from start to finish!  

Exit 343 Design - Stephanie joins us for her first Hullabaloo all the way from Philadelphia! This one-woman-show prints all her silkscreened prints, cards, plushies, t-shirts, totebags, illustrated magnets, buttons, and more by hand. Many feature song-lyrics and other bits of pop culture and she typically does short runs of limited editions, so if you see something you like, buy it! Know someone who was “hip before it was hipster”? She’s got a t-shirt for them!

Rockerbox Spice Co. - Rama comes from a long line of garlic growers, which has given her not only an appreciation for the stinking rose, but also access to great, locally-grown garlic! She’s turned a family tradition into an innovative business of her own, creating garlic and onion powders (including mixes like Italian, BBQ rubs, the Fiesta Mix, and Sweet Corn Rub) by dehydrating and grinding the bulbs herself.  She’s been featured in The Food Lover’s Guide to the Hudson Valley, The Daily Meal, Hand-Picked Nation, and more. Rama is based in Millbrook, and this is her first Hullabaloo! Pick some of her powders up at Hullabaloo to make your Thanksgiving meal a bit more memorable!

Zoo Kids Clothing - Jessica is bringing her handmade kids’ clothes from Troy for her first Hullabaloo! She’s come a long way since she made her first skirt out of upholstery swatches and glue in second grade, but she still uses found material from thrifting and vintage collection for just the right amount of quirkiness… Her adorably mismatched kids’ shorts, pants, dresses, tops, and accessories are perfect for your little monkeys!
