MAGICK SALT CREATIVE DESIGNS, Rochester Creative Spotlight!

Magick Salt β€œis a collection of all sides of my work, from artwork to restorative rituals to prose and more. For markets, I design illustrative prints, zines, stickers, stationary, and handmade earrings (fabric, clay, metals). My hope is that these creations help folks feel empowered and ready to create a better world. The themes are intended to stir healing through our bodies, community, nature, art, and the silly and lighthearted. After years of selling online (Etsy and Instagram) I love the opportunity to be in-person with my community.”

JACKBEAR STAMPS, Rochester Creative Spotlight!

JackBear Stamp & Press makes hand carved rubber stamps! John β€œJack” Ballou started participating in a hobby called letterboxing (www.atlasquest.com). He needed a rubber stamp. He wanted one of a bear paw. He combed all the craft stores in the area but to no avail. Jack decided to carve one himself and he fell in love with carving rubber stamps! He carves each stamp by hand and makes printed items from his stamps, like wooden magnets and buttons, cards, and collectable prints. Jack draws inspiration from pop culture, comic books, science fiction and fantasy, and local history.

Our MISSION…

Our mission is to create unique opportunities for local artists and makers to share their work with consumers. Viciously Crafty was created to provide an alternative to the traditional craft show. We aim to connect small business owners and show goers with refreshing uncommon venues.

We seek to select a diverse mix of modern, innovative, and edgy artists, with high quality work, who may not feel at home at conventional craft shows.

We’re proud to live in Rochester, New York and were thrilled to be a new addition to the alternative art festival scene in Western New York, and we’re eager to bring an exciting curated lineup of artists and makers to each of our shows!
