BIO: Alice Teeple's background is Integrative Arts. She currently works as a photography instructor and freelance graphic designer. Her classical training in drawing and painting took a wild turn sometime in the late 90s. From there, she started focusing primarily on design and collage, utilizing these skills in all sorts of forms. Right now she's working on fun stationery, jewelry, and upcycled clothing. Previous clients include Morpheus Interior Design, The Penn State College of Agriculture, Firebrand, and area musicians. Her stylistic theme generally reflects her passion for retro aesthetics and fondness for bizarre twists.

Underground Artisans Marketplace

(at Schlow Library, 211 S. Allen St.)

It's an old-fashioned town craft show...upcycled!

The Underground Artisans Marketplace, the first “alternative” arts and craft show to surface in State College, is a unique arts and craft venue for local artisans to showcase their creative endeavors to the community. UAM was initiated to reconnect the mindful buyer with the modern handmaker and to bring awareness to the ideas of “buying local” and “going green.”

Artisans from the ...Centre Region will be selling handmade clothing, jewelry, and stylish home decor; original artwork, pottery, upcycled and repurposed vintage clothing and wares, graphic design, vinyl records, woodworking, DIY and more!

Spotlight on......Erich Breimhurst

Erich Breimhurst
Woodworking
BIO: I like to create functional and artful objects from found or discarded wood.   I enjoy searching the rivers and forests of Pennsylvania for these materials, other times I simply rescue them from other woodworkers or from dumpsters near home renovations projects.  I hope to bring the wood back to life in the furniture and carvings I make.  I feel that its very important to keep the wood out of landfills or from being burned.
