Local artisans ply wares
at holiday bazaars
— By Jodi Schneider, Correspondent —
Sisters’ multitude of artist and craftspeople
plied their wares at local arts and crafts bazaars
last weekend.
The Roundhouse Foundation sponsored
the Holiday Art Show in the entry gallery at
Sisters Art Works on Adams Avenue, where
local artists showcased their handiwork with
holiday banners, original art garlands, and
hand-painted platters.
For three years local artist Kit Stafford has
coordinated the Holiday Art Show that profits
Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank.
“I curate the entry gallery for Kathy
Deggendorfer, and this year I orchestrated all
the painting of the plates and platters that are
showcased in the entry lobby,” Stafford said.
Upstairs in the Art Works building
Deggendorfer showcased her original art for
sale.
“This is a really fun way to be able to see all
the people in town,” said Deggendorfer. “And
I wouldn’t be able to do it without the help
from Laura Fouts and Debbie Barnes.”
Local artist Sharyl McCulloch displayed
her Accessories with Attitude.
“My scarves are showcased at Gary
Cooley’s Collection Gallery on Hood Avenue
and I only do one of each type,” McCulloch
said. “I started knitting 10 years ago when I
was a Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show board mem-
ber. Then when some other board members
suggested that I needed to go professional, I
did.”
Holiday wreaths from Black Butte School
were for sale outside the Art Works building
and at The Belfry where The Belfry Holiday
Art Extravaganza was in full swing on
Saturday morning.
“The wreath-making has been a tradition
for many years at Black Butte School in Camp
Sherman,” said volunteer Rachel Gonzales
of Camp Sherman. “The proceeds from the
wreaths (go) to the different programs at Black
Butte School such as the end-of-the-year ski
program and pizza party. The big push this
year that might take a couple of years is a new
playground for the students. So, the students
have been very motivated to get out and sell
wreaths.”
Alumni parent Paula Lovegren made all the
bows for the holiday wreaths.
Local vendors filled The Belfry with
15
Holiday Wines
to fit every palate
and every budget.

handcrafted arts and crafts from hand-
made chocolates and pottery to jewelry and
paintings.
“This is our fifth year hosting the Holiday
Art Extravaganza,” said Belfry owner
Angeline Rhett. “We are very excited to have
Sisters Jazz Combo performing this morning
and then Sisters Jazz Choir later today.”
Cozy neck-warmers and winter hats knitted
by Sahnya Greenfield from Bend was a popu-
lar handmade item.
“I have been knitting for years, even before
my kids were born,” said Greenfield. “I use the
softest breathable merino wool.”
Chocolatier Lidia Vasquez loves handcraft-
ing dark, milk and white chocolate, and during
the holidays who can resist a fresh, sweet and
delicious confection?
Vasquez has always had a hidden passion
for chocolate and began her business in 2008
as a hobby, and as it grew, she began to see the
potential for going full time creating unique
chocolates.
“My chocolates are handcrafted and locally
made in small batches from the finest cacao
grown in Venezuela. I use high-quality ingre-
dients to provide freshness.”
You can find Lidia’s Chocolates at the
Newport Avenue Market in Bend and Bend
Gift Store in St. Charles Hospital.
There were several other vendors showing
off their incredible handiwork, such as Heavy
Metal Solar Yard Art by Linda Peck, Canyon
Creek Pottery, local artist Paul Bennet, Wendy
Vernon Designs and La Petite Savonnerie: The
little Soap Factory and many more.
