This month’s featured jeweler at VAIN Ballard is Nancy O’Connell of Black Rabbit. She is an art director by day, while weekends, nights, and sometimes on her lunch-hours she makes “stuff” – adornment for you body and walls from vintage tins. She started Black Rabbit late in summer of 2007 and focuses on limited edition and one-of-a-kind accessories from tin, vintage and new fabrics. Her work will be available at VAIN Ballard through August, with an artist reception at our salon during Ballard’s ArtWalk on August 14.
Accompanying Nancy’s jewelry unveiling at the ArtWalk will be a live performance by Hoquiam. Hoquiam is a band that is made up of two brothers, Drake and Damien Jurado. With their self-titled release, they have created an album based around their childhood in Grays Harbor. To find out more about what inspires this duos’ music as well as this month’s featured jeweler, stay tuned for next week’s blog posts.
Please join us Saturday, August 14th from 6-9pm for art, drinks, food, and live music at 8pm by Hoquiam– 5401 Ballard Ave NW.
I am super stoked for this! It’s gonna be awesome. I hope to see a bunch of your faces here!
