Artist & Craftsman, 2019
“Kim's various home goods and art wares are what you might consider Contemporary Pittsburgh Folk Art. Hand drawn illustrations, reclaimed materials, and a softly reflective sensibility come together to create warm, inviting creations, pieces that look and feel like home and will help amplify the warmth of any space where they land.”

East End Brewing
It's been TEN YEARS since the first Crafts and Drafts on February 7, 2015. It started with the idea that there might be some overlap between folks who like locally made art & goods, and folks who like locally brewed beer. Well that first event was a HUGE success and it spawned a whole series with dozens of Crafts and Drafts events over the years.
For our Tenth Anniversary and to celebrate Love in all forms, we've invited back as many of the original vendors from that first event as we could get, and asked OG vendors Becki & Chris from Everyday Balloons & Lightning Bug Gift Co to design the poster for us again. So come join us Saturday, February 8 from 12-4pm with an amazing group of vendors and raise a glass to ten years! As always there'll be pizza (gf, veg, and vegan options available) along with beer and n/a options for all. Bring the family, a loved one, or just yourself to this free event!

Super excited to introduce the sweetest collaboration with strawberryluna for this holiday season - candles! We’ve been dreaming about doing candles for years and made that dream real this year with the help of this great chandler. We have them for sale in person at the Market Square Holiday Market and we have two local pick up spots available to make it super simple to shop.

Pink + Brown
Pink and brown is my favorite color combination. My story goes that I hated the color pink when I was younger. My mom was determined that I would NOT be a tomboy and proceeded to only buy me pink gifts: nightgowns, robes, slippers, etc - all pink. Gross. But at some point I decided I was going to learn to love it. I can’t remember why I made that a goal but it worked. In 2003-ish my husband even wrote a song about it. His story goes that he was waiting for me in an Anthropologie dressing room where I was certainly trying on all manner of pink and brown things. We had just watched Royal Tenenbaums which, if you recall, is good fodder for a pink and brown obsession.
I don’t understand (and am fascinated by) the inner workings of a songwriter’s mind but here is the song that somehow came from that moment in time.
This version was produced by Paul Doucette and he provided instrumentation with the exception of guitar and vocals which is all Steven Foxbury.

Three Rivers List tee
What can I say? It’s a classic “helvetica list” tee celebrating our three rivers - the Allegheny, the Mon, and the Ohio.
About the font: Helvetica is a neo-grotesque or realist design, one influenced by the famous 19th century typeface Akzidenz-Grotesk and other German and Swiss designs. Its use became a hallmark of the International Typographic Style that emerged from the work of Swiss designers in the 1950s and 60s, becoming one of the most popular typefaces of the 20th century.

BEATRICE'S BIRTHMARK
Back in 2003 When we lived in sunny Florida I worked at a wonderful studio called Lure Design with some of the best dudes ever. They're coming up on their 20th anniversary so I'm poking around looking at old pictures of my time there. One of my very favorite projects ever was the annual book that we created as a gift for friends and clients. This particular book, Beatrice's Birthmark, was my favorite of all due in large part to the song that Steven Foxbury wrote and recorded for the project. We have always loved snow and dreamt of living somewhere snowy. This song is a perfect lullaby for today's snowfall.
CITY OF BRIDGES TEES IN GREY - NOW AVAILABLE!
Beyond the Bed Covers
A.I.R. Gallery - 155 Plymouth St - Brooklyn, NY
Featuring Rachel Farmer, Kim Fox, Ariel Jackson, Luke Haynes, Carolina Rodriguez Meyer, Faith Ringgold, Jessica Skultety and images from the 1987 AIDS quilt exhibit in Washington, DC. Curated by Laura Petrovich-Cheney.
The American quilt is typically a three-layered stitched textile, combined by the process of sewing the three layers together. Quilts have long been considered utilitarian objects made to provide warmth for beds and sometimes they were used as to cover doors and windows that were not sealed enough to keep out the elements. Over time, quilts have transcended their function as bed coverings. Quilts can be both craft and art, as well as a point of expression and cultural identity for the maker.
The process of cutting and piecing together bits and pieces is part of the quilt narrative. Yet the narrative of the quilt goes beyond the process to become a story about the time period in which the quilts were made, the people who made them, and the prevailing zeitgeist.
The exhibition, Beyond the Bed Covers, examines how quilts and quilting have evolved beyond their cozy functionality, to be an expressive art form constructed of a variety of materials practiced by all gender forms. Included in this exhibit are artists whose quilts push the boundaries of materiality, personal expression and political statements.
