A creative group of Whirligiggers!

~ A Fun & Creative Bunch of Whirligig Makers ~

Well, I have to say that I won'y forget this whirligig workshop.  I little while ago I received an email from one of these women, let's call her Jenny F., who had driven by our studio and was so excited to see that we held workshops in how to make our whimsical whirligigs by repurposing old stuff.  She is an artist who uses old tin objects in her art so her head is already in that "recycled" space.  It didn't take her long to get a few friends on board to fill a workshop.  This was a fun crew.  They all are artists that deal with recycling and repurposing in their work and I would suggest checking out what they do by visiting their sites and blogs.  Here is what they created that day.

Meeting new people and getting to know them a bit is something I really enjoy about the workshops at hutch.  Thanks to Jenny and the fact that she is so nice and has many friends future whirligig workshops are filling up fast.  So give me a call or email and maybe you can get in on one.

Spring Schedule

~ Spring Schedule at Hutch ~

There are a couple of small changes to the schedule of business that I would like everyone to know about.  If you happen to stop by on a Monday thinking that we would be open you might be disappointed like my son was when he stopped by on a whim to visit his daddy today and I was out to a lunch meeting which is very out of the ordinary.  For Spring we will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and open Wednesday through Sunday from 11am- 4:30pm.  This means we are open for an extra day during the week and open a little bit later.

But even if we aren't open when you pop by you can still..........

take lot of pictures of the fence, whirligigs, and yard...

... or take a walk through the nearby fields of daffodils and tulips.

It can still be a good day.

*I would like to give photography credit to my wife Kristin for taking these great shots of Sayer today.  I don't know how she does it.  Also the green organic squirrel T-shirt that he is wearing is available at the shop and in her shop.  Everyone needs a squirrel Tee in the springtime.
