Petaluma’s Artists & Farmers

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:57:27 +0000

Pitchforks, tractors and hay bales.
Paintbrushes, video cam’s and laptops.
From dirt to digital art, Petaluma lies precisely
at the intersection of agriculture & creativity.
ProjectHERE wishes to celebrate Petaluma’s
Artists & Farmers recognizing them as cornerstones
to what it means to live HERE.

The Event
Banked along the Petaluma River and set in the backyard of Petaluma pioneers to the slow-food movement, Central Market, we will hunker down and live it up. Join us as we tap into all things earth and art, Petaluma-style. Introduce yourself to the roots of what makes Petaluma a town like no other.

Eat a little. Drink a little. Dance a little. Play a little. But most importantly, learn a little about what makes Petaluma a distinct place all its own. Experience the food, the music, and the art that sets us apart. And shake hands with the kind, passionate folks behind the magic.

Date and Time:

Saturday, October 10th
11:00a – 4:00p

Location:

Central Market

(in the backyard)
42 Petaluma Blvd. North, Petaluma, CA 94952

The Soulcraft Way
So what makes a Soulcraft special? It all starts with you, the customer. Building custom frames is as much knowing how to deal with people as it is actually making the frame. I spend as much time as needed with you to make sure that I have addressed all your concerns. I want you to feel confident with what I am going to build and that you understand how your needs have been incorporated into the frame’s design. So whether you know exactly what you want or this is your first custom frame and need my guidance, you will know exactly what I am going to build and why before I start cutting tubes.

One hundred percent of Heritage Salvage’s wood products are sourced from windfalls or existing structures: chicken shacks, barns, houses, tanks and other structures that were either in danger, abandoned or no longer being used. 75% of Heritage Salvage wood is old growth redwood. The wood will be graded, resold or used as is with its natural patina by Heritage Salvage for remodeling, building, custom-trim, furniture, landscaping, garden sheds and all that we have not thought of yet! Our mission includes “salvaging the heritage” of the structures we re-purpose. By photographing the old structure and researching the history we preserve some heritage of the building.

From Rags To Riches

Jess has always been in love with and inspired by beautiful textiles. She began making dolls for her daughter 9 years ago using old cashmere sweaters and antique remnants. As Stella’s love for these rag dolls grew, Jess’ passion for making them followed. As committed flea market goers, they would search together for amazing antique pieces, trims, buttons and findings. This has now all come together as a small line of one of a kind and hand made rag dolls. Each doll is hand dyed in persian black tea to create purposeful variations in skin tones. They are all made of cotton muslin and primarily recycled and antique fabrics and findings.
There is something truly beautiful about a threadbare, worn, and well loved doll that has been created with the finest materials.Jess lives in Petaluma, California with her children Stella and Tiger and her husband Erio. She owns a small shop in town called maude with her good friend Stacy.

The original Diggler Scooter is made right here in Petaluma.

Or Call – 707-775-2452

The Diggler was developed in Marin County, CA. in 1996. Diggler owner and inventor, Rob Fruechtenicht, took his childhood dream and patented his innovative creation…The Diggler Mountain Scooter. The Diggler captures the essence of several exciting sports; mountain biking, snowboarding, surfing, BMX, and skiing, and combines them all into a whole new way to ride.

Over the years, Rob has continually expanded and enhanced the entire Diggler line of scooters. In addition to the “The Original Mountain Scooter”, Diggler now offers models with disk brakes (for faster stopping) and full suspension (for a smoother ride).

In response to an overwhelming demand, Rob also developed a model specifically designed for kids ages 3-7. The “Dirt Doggy” has received many awards and accolades from parents & toy suppliers alike.

In 2007, Rob introduced the “Electric Diggler” which combines the agility of the scooter with the economy of a small, electric engine making the “Electric Diggler” a great way to “spare the air” and have fun, too!
