Company C, the award-winning New Hampshire-based design and manufacturing company, is bringing its popular market event, Colorful Conversations, to its New England-based retail locations. The event will showcase Company C’s design collaboration with Jill Seale, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based artist and product designer.
Jill will showcase her marbling technique and speak to the audience about her design process while creating live works of art. There will be an interactive portion, where attendees are invited to make their own creation. Limited edition silk hand scarves will be distributed to the first 50 attendees.
“I think this is a great opportunity for our customers to experience the artistry that goes into making our rugs,” said Christine Chapin, Co-Founder and Colorful Living Officer at Company C. “Meeting the maker is the ultimate behind the scenes experience. We are thrilled to be hosting Jill as she demonstrates this captivating art form.”
“I love bringing the centuries-old art of Italian paper marbling into the lives and homes of a whole new generation,” said Jill Seale, artist. “I’m excited to bring a truly unique and mesmerizing experience to these local communities.”
Wine and hors’ d oeuvres will be served. While free to attend, space is limited, and RSVP is requested. The event is open to the public, ages 21 and older. Event dates and locations are as follows:
