Durango's Autumn Arts Festival

 

Goal accomplished! I went early yesterday to the Art Show downtown in Durango. Though rain had been forecast off and on, only a few places were empty on the three blocks of vendors on both sides of Second Avenue, plus a few small parking lots off to the sides.

I found a parking spot on the street within walking distance...a big plus. I even used the shoulder strap across my body to carry the portable oxygen generator (there I remembered what it's called!) I wore slacks with cargo type pockets and skipped carrying a purse, as well as plastic! Otherwise I'm sure I would have come home with a $250 shawl in hand woven rayon. They were absolutely edible!

Cheryl Kabala was quite friendly, and when I apologized for not being in a position to purchase what I found lovely, she was quite understanding. She and her husband come to Durango for this show yearly, living I think, in New Mexico.

But on to the pottery exhibits - my goal to compare the art in this region to that in western North Carolina.

The first display had some Native American touches. Yolando LaMone

I'll just post one potter's works at a time, so they will be on each  post for a while...
