Every artist at the 10th Anniversary of Artomatic has in their own unique way created something to show in their space. For this Artomatic Manual Tour, we focus on those who have created handcrafted artwork — the crafters. From those who create via fabric, stitchery, jewelry or decorative painting we’ve highlighted our favorites.

• For those looking to purchase a handcrafted purse made of non-traditional materials, stop by the installation of Caitlin Phillips (aka Rebound Designs). She is showing purses at Artomatic made upcycled from Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books. You can find a new purse on the 7th floor, area 2.
• For all you knitters and knit-lovers, Rania Hassan (aka goshdarnknit) does a fabulous job of combining the art of actually knitting with paintings of said craft. See Hassan’s exhibit on the 9th floor, area 03.
• Kimberley Bush (picture at left) creates Raku Pottery, Horsehair Pottery and Porcelain Pottery with Glass fusion. Make sure you check out her hand thrown bottle formed with Raku Clay and glazed with Gator skin. You can see her at on the 9th floor, area 11.
• Jane G. Broaddus is a fiber artist who hails from the tradition of quilting. Her quilt ‘sandwiches’ serve as a platform to create images from materials such as paper, beads, buttons and found objects. Check out her “sandwiches” at Artomatic on the 5th floor.
