Listen Fridays at 9:00am (replayed on Saturday also at 9am) to Paula Granquist’s “ArtZany!: Radio for the Imagination”
Paula’s Guest/Topic this week:
Paula’s guests today are here to showcase the art of a Saturday morning in downtown Northfield. Joining me in the studio are farmer Laura Heiman of Schoolhouse Apiary and watercolor artist Kathy Miller. Both showcase their work at the Riverwalk Market Fair in downtown Northfield on Saturday mornings.
Schoolhouse Apiary, owned by Laura Heiman, is a small, family-run beekeeping operation based out of Northfield, Minnesota. Using her grandmother’s techniques and some of her original equipment, Laura is now in her 7th year of beekeeping and second year of selling at Riverwalk Market Fair. Schoolhouse Apiary tends their bees strictly along organic lines, using no pesticides or antibiotics, and the hives are located on certified organic land.
This Saturday at the Riverwalk Market Fair, Schoolhouse Apiary will be featuring samples of their honey, an observation hive so Market Fair goers can watch the bees in action and pick up some of their favorite honey recipes. Come by and see them from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.!
Kathy Miller is a realistic watercolor artist whose paintings embody her love for the world around her. Her paintings are incredibly vivid and are designed to have both literal and figurative meanings that convey the strength and harmony of nature and everyday objects around us all.
