Sugarloaf Crafts Festival in Gaithersburg, MD, Friday, April 15 through Sunday, April 17. I’m excited to reconnect with all my friends after being hard at work in my studio all winter. I’ll be in booth number 228 in the Harvest Building.

I know my fans always like hearing about new creations I’ve been working on, and you’ll be excited to know this spring I’ll be debuting my superhero capes for dogs!

Of course, I’ll be surrounded by fabulous talent, too! 250 other jury-selected American artisans will be showcasing the finest craftsmanship in ceramics and pottery, jewelry and fashion, fine art and photography, leather, metal, wood, glass and fiber. Where else can you find this much artistry in one place?

If you’re looking to save on admission to the show (why wouldn’t you?), be sure to purchase your tickets online at www.sugarloafcrafts.com and you’ll save $2 on every ticket. If you’re planning on shopping with friends and family, grab a 4-pack of tickets – you’ll save even more!

The Sugarloaf Crafts Festival will be held at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, 16 Chestnut St in Gaithersburg, MD.

Parking is free! Admission to the show is $8 in advance ($10 at the door) and good for all three days.

"I purchased Super Hero outfits for my nephews for Christmas. They loved them. They kept them on almost all day! It was probably the best gift I have given them and because they are generous in size they will be able to wear them for a number of years." Thank, Holly for such a great idea!

“Many children who entered Hagen’s booth demonstrated what she said she hopes to achieve with her company. Wearing the capes, which come in various color patterns, children at the festival became excited, with many striking “superhero poses.” ”- Bangor Daily News

Then there were newbies such as Maryland's Holly Hagen, who makes initialed "hero capes" - mostly for kids, but adults have gone for them as well. For this show, she brought 900 capes, plus hero masks, hero wrist cuffs, and hero belts.

The idea, she said, "is to teach kids they're special just the way they are."
