On the Market.

Former Roanoke City Market Manager, Hope Hollingsworth, just couldn’t stay away from the Market forever. A year later and you can now find her on Saturdays helping Tim Belcher sell his homegrown heirloom tomatoes, squash, and beans. She’s also selling something of her own.

These cute tops designed and sewn by Hope are lightweight and airy - perfect for keeping cool in this summer heat. And of course, Hope models her clothing herself to everyone she sells to!

Also new on the Market are some beautiful casserole dishes by Sherry Tucciarone.

A vase by Jayn Avery.

Lampwork jewelry completely handcrafted by Brian Seckinger.

And Milk Baths by Rebecca Dillon made from healing goat’s milk, high mineral dead sea salts, colloidal oatmeal, and shea butter.

Brian Seckinger, a local vendor on the Roanoke City Market, has become an artist of many talents. While he still creates pottery and the occasional photograph, he also begun making lampwork beads. Read about the process here. He is then turning his beads into lovely necklaces that he now sells for $20 - $25 each depending on the size of the focal bead he’s created. You can find Brian on the Market most Wednesdays through Sundays.
