About UsThee Faerie Ring Arts and Crafts began in 1998 as Renaissance Fayre Tarot readers, a side business to the modern sideshow act Carnival Xaotika Sade was in with her then partner Terry Sindar. A few crafts showed up at the edge of the booth and before long, the craft side had replaced both the readings and the performances.
Continuing on into the 21st century, Thee Faerie Ring has provided a creative outlet for proprietress Sade Wolfkitten, who has not only made all the items on offer but at times even the booth and display pieces as well. Starting in 2005, she spent the next decade as a regular staff costumer for convergence-continuum theater in Cleveland's Tremont arts district (as well as occasional crow, accordionist, and glass walker). She was also an annual vendor at Spoutwood Farm's May Day Fairie Festival from 2000 until its final year at that location in 2018. And she did a number of other shows, notably the Hessler Street Fair, Dyngus Day, and the Cleveland Pagan Pride Festival in and around the Northeast Ohio area. During that time, Sade continued to create and develop new items. To her original take on flower crowns, she added hand painted stash boxes in original designs, beaded felt ornaments, resin pendants, wands of various types, and eventually batiked and upcycled boho-style clothing. In recent years she has begun volunteering with Cleveland's Ingenuity Festival as a prop maker and installation designer. She has also begun branching away from the fairie and fantasy world under the name Dakini Trading Company, producing art and decor with a tiki flair. And though her beloved attic garret studio was turned into a separate apartment two years ago, she continues to create wherever and whenever she can, and hopes that you will delight in the final product as much as she did in producing them. |
