2008 Schedule of Shows for Piñon Designs
Leslie Heath and Christian Wig
The following shows are Professional National Level Juried Arts and Craft Shows or Music Festivals where we set up and sell our handmade jewelry to the public. Artists and Craftsmen are juried, selected from hundreds of applicants and accepted well in advance so that by May we know our show schedule for the year. As both Leslie and Christian make the jewelry, they are needed at most of the shows, while a few are double-ups. The few gem and mineral shows are where we buy materials such as stones and mineral beads, which we must pick by hand. When we are not at a show, we are in the shop making our jewelry. This is our livelihood; much of it is on the road.
