Matthias Fine Art

Hi My name is Matthew! I adopted the name Matthias for my brand since it was my nickname! I have been drawing since I learned how to hold a pencil. However my journey into painting started back in 2019. I took a few watercolor classes in town and afterwards I didn’t stop practicing. My work revolves around painting places, not just architecture, but places with engaging communities. Then I finish off with some positive sci-fi vibes. I love the Saturday Market since it fosters that sense of community. I always welcome the opportunity to talk about my work and anything else relating to art, architecture or vintage designs.

Raintoad Designs

Hi. I’m Judy Rainey-Bellows of Raintoad Designs. I design and create stained glass air plant holders and suncatchers. My curiosity and desire to learn many crafts have taken many creative paths from costume and prop design, quilt making, silversmithing, metal works, and now stained glass. I try to combine the beauty of nature with the artistry of stained glass resulting in unique and eye-catching pieces that will brighten up any space. I am inspired by the intricate patterns of stained glass and the delicate beauty of air plants allowing me to experiment with new ways to bring these elements together. Many of my supplies are found or purchased within the Pacific Northwest.

Currently, I sell my stained glass air plant holders and suncatchers only at local shows around Western Washington. I hope to branch out to Oregon and maybe back to California where my journey started. I look forward to sharing my art with you at the Saturday Market at the West Central Park.

Cracked Cloud Studio

I am Thea M. Zwier of Cracked Cloud Studios. I am a ceramicist, artist, and tarot reader. I have been making ceramics work for about 11 years now and have been selling my work for the last 4 years. When I do ceramics work I love seeing all of the possible shapes that can come out of a simple form; all of the options available to me, changing with every decision I make while I am shaping and finishing the forms. It is a cycle of choice and discovery that fuels my curiosity. I love experimenting with form and the unexpected results that come from layering glazes. To me ceramics feels like a lovely mix of chemistry and ritual. I make my work with curiosity, intention, and a little bit of hidden magic. I love selling my work at West Central Park because of the community. I love being able to see people’s faces as they interact with my work and answer their questions. The atmosphere is so supportive and fun and I love to see it grow. The great food trucks, fun cafe and kitchen store on the edge of the park are a plus too.

Linsey and Arianna started Little Dipper Farm because we wanted to bring organic & nutrient dense food to our families and our community. Here at Little Dipper Farm we believe in the power of small organic farms to positively impact the environment through minimal till and regenerative practices.

Unique Jewelry by Jill

Hi, my name is Jill. I make beaded necklaces  and bracelets and chain anklets and bracelets.  I’m retired and needed something to do with my time so I started making jewelry.  I’ve been doing it for two years and I have so much I didn’t know what to do with it.  I heard about the West Central Park Saturday Market and requested to be a vendor and here I am.  I love the market.  I meet a lot of great people and there are a several vendors selling interesting products. It’s a great little place to visit with the music and food and fun.

Rainbow Garden Botanicals and Farm

Hi my name is Ada, along with my daughter Ashley, we own Rainbow Garden Botanicals and Farm in Olympia, Washington. What do we do? We make luxury soaps and lotion!

How did we get started? My family and myself all suffered with eczema, psoriasis and some with just sensitive skin. We had tried so many products to help with these problems but hadn’t had much luck finding relief, so I got to thinking, I wonder if I could make my own soap or lotion? Something natural that didn’t have a lot of harsh chemicals. So I decided to try it out and with several trial and errors I did it! I was so happy and lots of my friends and family members really liked what I had came up with. Then one day in November of 2021, we got to do our first venue selling these products at the Marie Bed and Breakfast. I remember being extremely nervous, but it turned out to be so great. We really had a great time. Three and a half years later, we make not only soap and lotion, but deodorant, shampoo bars, conditioner bars, dry shampoo, and candles.

All of our products are hand made, there’s no melt and poor here! We also have lots of tapestries, crystals, and jewelry as well. And we have just this year added eggs to our list of products and eventually hope to add produce. We do events most of the year. We frequent the Saturday Market at West Central Park and we do lots of fairs such as Capital Lake Fair, Thurston county Fair, Love Oly Fest, The Olympia Boat Festival, Harbor Days, and more! We would like to thank Alicia Elliott for giving us the chance to do our first event! It’s been quite the ride so far and we love a good adventure!
