Introducing Stacey’s Space at River Road-Granville
Saturday, March 5th, 2011River Road Coffeehouse is introducing Stacey’s Space at River Road at its original Granville location starting February 15. Located in the Shops at Seven Pines on River Road adjacent to State Route 16, the “Fireplace Room” at the coffeehouse has long been used to feature the pottery of Heidi and Andy Casto, graduates of Ohio State and University of Iowa arts programs. With the Casto couple moving on to more decorative sculpture, Coffeehouse Managing Partner David Forman asked sister Stacey Forman to consider managing the shelf space on behalf of local artisans.
Stacey’s Space will feature selected displays of unique hand-crafted items for sale and not generally available in other retail locations. According to Stacey Forman, “The River Road Coffeehouse has long been a supporter of local artists and has displayed a variety of artwork on its walls. This is a way for us to branch out and feature items that are functional as well as unique and beautiful.” Forman hopes to incorporate items such as fiber wares, jewelry and home décor in with a small continuing display of Red Bridge Pottery as well as paper-back books brought to press by independent publisher Two Dollar Radio.
The local coffeehouse enjoys a significant amount of foot-traffic from locals as well as village visitors and David Forman notes that “the cozy and intimate atmosphere of the 1860’s farm house is an excellent environment for displaying and viewing artisan items.”
If you are a local artisan and are interested in displaying and selling your handmade goods at Stacey’s Space at River Road, please contact Stacey Forman at staceyforman@yahoo.com or at (614) 406-0668.
