National Building Museum

Washington D.C.

A rare and hopefully more regular appearance here on our blog.

We have been working hard in our studios creatively, keeping up with special orders and preparing for our shows. I have been doing some painting and have some new designs in the works that we are excited about.  We have been experimenting with some lighter weight yarns and new colors for our knit dresses and tunics.

We started working on some full length dresses and also have some very cool  prints for the fall we are excited to show you.  We have been experimenting knitting with Tasmanian Wool, Cashmere and Merino.  Let us know if you are interested in wool.

We are deeply honored, very touched and excited to announce our Blossom Cape image was chosen by the Smithsonian Women's Committee for their website page entitled "Harnessing the Power of Women to Make a Difference" with their mission statement.  We love what the Smithsonian offers the general public by providing a life enhancing experience serving all people at no charge.

We love supporting and participating in the Smithsonian's annual Craft2Wear show which is entitled "Artful Attire" on September 27th-29th at the National Building Museum, in Washington D.C. www.smithsoniancraftshow.org/craft2wear

We are proud and honored to announce that we have been chosen to be one of the 100 artists that have been selected for the "Smithsonian Craft Optimism" 2021 Virtual Show curated by the Smithsonian Women's Commitee.  April 24-May1st. 

"Craft Optimism is a curated online marketplace featuring beautifully made, handcrafted American goods that educate the public about climate change or inspire or model a sustainable response to climate change."

This show will raise funds to benefit the educational programs sponsored by the Smithsonian.

An integral part of their history in recycling and reclaiming fabric continues with our commitment to use sustainably researched fabrics such as organic cotton, viscose and tencel, made from trees and bamboo. Our Knitwear is 100% Egyptian cotton grown in a responsible, sustainable manner and spun in a small artisan mill in Italy. Avoiding the trappings and waste of mass production, Sharon London dresses and knitwear are made individually in small batches and custom made to order. Their hand drawn designs are knitted and sewn in the Hudson Valley, NY in classic simple fits. Sharon and Carl’s zero waste studio is powered by the sun. 

We are excited to announce we will be participating in the Craft + Design Online Show at the Visual Arts Center in Richmond, Virginia November 20-29th. This will be our first time showing here, we hope you check it out.
