Occurring Oct. 6 to 8, the upstate fall market captured an idyllic — yet rugged and damp — waterfront scene in Kingston, N.Y., at the modern Hutton Brickyards venue. Rows of white tents decorated the grounds housing elevated and handmade wares from all over. Local food and music contributed to the scene, which is known to attract locals, weekenders and city dwellers alike.
Samples were at every turn, including punchy liqueurs from Mamaroneck, N.Y.-based Heimat sourcing the finest rhubarb, black currants, pears and so on. Many brands were ripe for Instagram including Santm’s Venetian-inspired mary jane shoes and Brooklyn-based ceramics brand Streicher. The latter’s assortment featured checkered ash trays as well as switch-heavy lamps in trending and tactile mushroom forms. Eclectic copper hair pins were a favorite, affordable find from Winchester, Conn.-based Wentrukal Design. The designer shared a stall with Fundación Niwok, which employs female artisans in fine woven craft.
