Intuitive Readings with Kasandra
Thursdays
11am-4pm
On Thursdays from 11-4pm, the marvelous Kasandra M. will be in the shop offering intuitive readings. We have worked with Kasandra in the past and we always love hearing her insights.
Says Kasandra: "I was born with the gift of sight and the ability to intuit messages from the divine and angels. I have now decided to open myself up and share my gifts with those in need of help and guidance...My preferred method of reading is with my Fortune cards. Based off of the Mlle. Lenormand Fortune Telling Card deck they are simple and straightforward. Along with the cards, when I do a reading I am sometimes given additional messages and visions to share with clients. I invite you to join me in a personal reading to experience this first hand."
Contact Kasandra for bookings here: https://kasandram.com/contact/
*Please note, Kasandra will not be available for readings on Thursday November 22 (Thanksgiving) and Thursday November 29.

It’s that time of year.
For this, Dandelion Guild’s holiday season installation, we bring you a curated selection of beautifully crafted items that feel new and old all at the same time. Things that can be worn. Things to adorn your living space. Things that can be used in your home over and over again. And - perhaps most importantly - things that are made with love that you can gift to your loved ones.
This two month long installation will run from November 21th through January 13 and will feature 3 local artists:
Chiara Sarter - Chiarascura Printing (relief prints)
Tristan Collinsworth - Mortal String (embroidery)
Gabe Rodriguez - Rebel 1 Designs (woodworking)
We hope you’ll join us for the opening party on November 24 (small business Saturday) from 12-6pm. Once again we’ll be heating up the apple cider and enjoying each other’s company. AND we are pleased to be hosting Danielle’s Donuts, who will be popping up to vend some ridiculously good vegan donuts and other goodies.

Arcana Release
|
Fischer, who also works as an art therapist, is currently in the process of honing in on her jewelry vision, rebranding her jewelry under the label Arcana.
Says Fischer of the new line:
“Arcana was born of my love for magic, adornment, healing, and the places where these elements dance together. Themes of alchemy, sacred geometry, and metaphysics can be found in each piece, and stones are carefully selected for their healing potential. How we choose to adorn ourselves has the power to transform, and when we choose pieces with intention we are honoring ourselves. We are showcasing our individuality and our story- our magic.
Additionally, our purchases connect us to our planet and community. I do my best to source from within the Santa Fe community, and am working to build the most sustainable and ethical business I am able. Metals are sustainably sourced whenever possible, and much of what is used in Arcana jewelry is deadstock waste material from the fashion industry.
Arcana, Latin for magical secrets, or mysteries.”

Warp Zone, V.A.H. and Mineralogy Project Pop Up
Saturday November 10, 11am-6pm
Get ahead of the holiday shopping season with gorgeous gift quality handwoven wearables and enchantingly beautiful crystals ✨
The Warp Zone
The Warp Zone is Amanda Speer and Dain Daller, artists and weavers living in Northern New Mexico. The two weave full time in their mostly finished Earthship home studio, that they built from the ground up. Amanda and Dain weave with all natural materials under their self installed solar power while living completely away from any city or grid. All woven wears are hand dyed and hand washed with rain water collected from the sky.
Striving to constantly come up with new techniques and combinations, they take formless raw materials such as silk, cotton, linen, wool, and rayon, and transform them into beautiful weavings.
Amanda and Dain's work has a strong focus on ikat techniques, both warp and weft. In 2017 the two were the USA representatives for the world craft council Ikat Symposium in New Delhi, India. They will again be representing the USA in Khon Kaen, Thailand in 2018.
V.A.H.
V.A.H. is a line of woven jewelry, scarves/ shawls, hats and more handmade by Vanessa Harris. Inspired by 70’s sci-fi, a love of busy patterns, and her previous work as a fiber arts instructor for adults with disabilities, she has been living and building an earthbag house near El Rito for the last 2 years.

RETURN of The Creature Feature!
A one week art installation
October 24 -November 1st
with Halloween Party October 27th
In the Fall of 2017, a group of local oddballs and weirdos got together to present a uniquely bizarre event in the city different: a Halloween art market known only as the "Creature Feature." Occurring over one short weekend in the Strangers Collective downtown art gallery known as NO LAND, Creature Feature was never intended as more than a passing entertainment. But little did they know, the participants had unwittingly created new life!
After laying dormant for one long year, something strange and disturbing is waking up, just in time for Halloween…

Kiln to Kitchen:
|
Studio Samia
Pottery has long been a part of everyday human life. Predating the written word, ceramics developed independently on almost every continent as one of the earliest human inventions. The emergence of the craft served functional purposes for early peoples by providing a reliable way of holding and preserving food and drink.
In more recent times, appreciation for the form has led to the exhibiting of ceramics as fine art, and rightly so. And yet, there is something about the humble, useful origins of taking clay and forming it into kitchen and tableware…
On October 19th Dandelion Guild is pleased to present our fourth collaborative installation, Kiln to Kitchen: Ceramics for Everyday Use.
Kiln to Kitchen is a curated show, focusing on the diversity of style and technique employed by a six different women, all working within the medium of pottery as a functional art form. After the initial opening, the show will be on display in a smaller, curated format within the shop from October 20 - November 18.

Pop Up with Happy Loco
Sunday August 26
10am-3pm
Happy Loco is a vision and manifestation that embodies duality through fashion and art. Designed by Jeremy Salazar, they upcycle and hand paint their fashion designs. Happy Loco is the wearable reality of light and darkness within us. We have full confidence in who we are and who we want to become by challenging ourselves and others in the fashion we wear. Happy Loco does that with each piece created. Every person who wears one of Jeremy's pieces will feel and emanate that magic.
Happy Locos mission is to provide a door for self expression through fashion, art and culture.
