There's art at the SoWa Open Market. Not just any art, either, like a person might see at a museum. This is art you can buy. Art you can take home. And there's food, everywhere.

Freeman believes understanding where you best fit on the 'food chain' is essential to success.
Debbie Freeman, a.k.a. ‘The Duchess,’ bounced around as a kid, moving from Florida to Texas to Vermont. The ensuing ability to find footing in unfamiliar environments informs her sense of style as a designer, interior artist and refurbisher: Freeman is the Queen (Duchess?) of mix-and-match. Her anything-goes philosophy is plenty refreshing in an age when you can buy matching bedroom scheme packages cheaply at Walmart and Target. Freeman has found her niche as a middle-woman between her curated decorative treasures and other dealers, first through eBay and now via outlets like the SoWa Vintage Market. Good thing, too, since her one-day stint at Taco Bell (many moons ago) didn’t go very well. Patch: How did you discover your passion for …

After years of nurturing a hobby, Porter realized it could also be her career...
As a kid, Shara Porter was obsessed with dryer lint. “I would always ask to clean out the lint tray to see what the clothes had made,” she told me. “It amazed me to see all of the residue combining to form new fabric--well, at the time it just amazed me, but looking back on it, that’s how I feel.” That same wonderment and knack for transformative thinking led to other telling childhood adventures: at the ripe age of 4, the Princeton, New Jersey native repurposed a pair of her mother’s blue jeans into a shoulder bag, following along with the kids on PBS’s “Zoom”. Mama Porter wasn’t thrilled. By the time she was a teen she was digging through rummage sales for items she could remake into things that were more to her liking, offering to help …

Patti Small with On the Edge Knife Sharpening offered her thoughts on how NOT to care for your knives.
Patti Small grew tired of the glitz and glamour of the movie business about three years ago. She worked in the reasonably lucrative field of movie business accounting. “I couldn’t stand it,” Small said. So she opted for happiness rather than money and took up a hobby that she hopes will someday become “something real” that can support her. Small operates On the Edge Knife Sharpening, a business that allows her to travel to farmers’ markets throughout the area hand sharpening everything from kitchen knives to dog grooming shears. The 3-year-old business allows Small to work with her hands – a goal she had when she left the movie business – and spend time getting to know the customers and vendors who frequent the farmers' markets she attends…

Murrell says his love for pottery grew after connecting with some cultural roots as a kid.
Artist and craftsman Nathan Murrell loves to work with his hands. A native of Belleville, Illinois (just across the river from St. Louis, Missouri), he attended Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville (SIUE) and eventually landed here in New England for grad school at UMass Dartmouth…both degrees are in ceramics. Currently he divides his time between his Hijacked Ceramics business and a bookbinding gig with Rag and Bone Bindery.
