Calling local craftspeople and artists for the commissioning of certain handmade housewares and art for our Airbnb units here at The Hive!!

We want to support our local economy by providing an outlet for the marketing and sales of artisans' products, and the featuring of artists' work.

Our two Airbnb units at The Hive each see an average of anywhere from 5-20 travelers per month; people from all around the world, many wanting to take back with them a slice of the culture they find here in Albuquerque. We would help promote your work, offer your products (that guests would be using intimately during their stay) for sale, provide your contact info and possibly a catalogue of products, and include your name/logo on our welcome letter.

We are looking to furnish these units with a number of handmade items and some ideas of what we are looking for are:

•Wholesale hand-made hotel-size soaps
•Hand-made beauty/bath products
•Ceramic dish and mug sets (of 4)
•Ceramic or glassware
•Embroidered kitchen towels
•Paintings for hanging (and selling)
•Hand-made furniture? (custom shelves, coffee table, etc..)
•Any custom, handmade functional items you may be into making
ie.: lamps, vases, cutlery, notebooks?

This is a great opportunity to get your crafts/art exposed to (and sold to) a diversity of people, who will then take it back home with them as a memento of the great experience they had here in Albuquerque:) We can discuss how to execute commissions on a person-to-person basis. Share this with your crafty peeps!

Come take a free yoga class with me tomorrow at the UNM Sustainability Expo!

Zhenya Novgorodskaya (Yoga with Zhenya) a has been practicing yoga since she was in High School. She has offered yoga to individuals, families, pregnant moms, teens, schools, summer camps & even mom's with their babies. When most people think of sustainability, they think of the planet, however sustaining ones own wellbeing helps leads to emotional & physical balance, in turn making it possible for us to rise to the occasion of taking personal responsibility for our footprint on the earth. Throughout her life, Zhenya has noticed that her yoga practice which includes restorative yoga practices, meditation and alignment-based asana practice, has given her the strength & confidence to face daily challenges with mindfulness. You can usually find Zhenya High Desert Yoga at High Desert Yoga Studio on Friday's and Saturday's

***Come practice with Zhenya at the expo from 12:30-1:20 in front of Johnson Gym!***

We're hosting a work party to get our community gathering space finished! Start at noon today, Sunday (sorry for the late notice), and will work til we're happy. Very simple and not so strenuous work, whew. Just some cleanup and then painting!

This space will open up tons of opportunities for fun, creative gatherings. Jams, art parties, game nights, concerts, workshops, yoga...you name it.

So please come out and help get the space usable:)

We may host future parties to continue to deck out the space so check back in.

Also, if you have any ideas about workshops or events you need a space for, come check us out. You can contact Mitchell @ 505-730-3032
