MEG KRAKOWIAK GALLERY Grand Opening 6:00 pm
Leather Masks and Decorative Knotting-Kaviar Forge Gallery [Visual arts]
The video by leather artist Robert Black was playing, showing those who were interested how to knot and braid leather. Mr. Black made a knot for me while I was talking to him, and then showed me how to do it, a decorative western braid, letting me try my hand at it. It is something I would enjoy given time, but it took him no time to make the knot as we spoke, he is a master. In his display for sale were bracelets and rings, key chains and various trinkets, all leather knots, some with magnetic and ceramic beads.
Nothing says love like leather [Visual Art]
“OMG where did you get that bag?” This is what you will be hearing from every woman who approaches you to ask about your Inherited Leather purse by Sue Schofield. Where can you find said purse? You’re in luck. Kaviar Forge & Gallery’s newest holiday exhibit is featuring the work of several local leather artists in order to showcase the art of finely crafted leather goods in Kentucky: masks, jewelry, hats, baskets, belts, purses, and of course saddles will all be made available to purchase.
Booze and belly dancing in Crescent Hill
Spring is trying to wiggle its way out of winter's final clutches, which means it's time to get excited about the F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop again. The event, which takes place the final Friday of every month, just isn't the same when it's cold outside. Free trolleys take revelers up and down Frankfort, Mellwood and Story avenues from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Almost forgot: Oftentimes, free booze is in abundant supply.
Crescent Hill gallery throws Haiti benefit
During next week's F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop (Feb. 26), Kaviar Forge & Gallery (1718 Frankfort Ave.) will kick off an event called "Light a Candle for Haiti." Owner and master blacksmith Craig Kaviar, who had participated in another benefit for the earthquake-ravaged nation, decided his gallery could do something, too.
