Located on 73 acres of Hudson’s riverfront property in Kingston, Historic Hutton Brickyards was once home to a brick manufacturer that supplied materials for iconic New York City buildings such as Yankee Stadium and the Convents. Today, twice a year the remaining industrial architecture—three steel-framed furnace sheds—hosts a different kind of waterfront maker magic: Field + Supply.
Founded by interior designer Brad Ford in 2014 as a modern interpretation of the traditional arts and crafts market, Field + Supply brings together a carefully curated selection of decorators from across the country at one of the most anticipated events in the region. This Memorial Day weekend, May 27-29, more than 200 vendors in a wide range of categories – from luxury furniture and home décor to pharmaceuticals, ceramics, clothing, jewelry and a small selection of food and beverage products – will gather for three days of shopping paired with music. Live demos and gourmet prices from local vendors.
Want some help deciding who to be a beeline for when you arrive? We’ve put together a short list of important software makers that you won’t want to miss.
DBO . Home
Husband and wife design team Dana Brandwyn and Daniel Oates are the makers of DBO Home, an artistic collection of homeware, including ceramics, serving utensils, bronze objects, lighting, and custom furniture, handcrafted in a Litchfield County studio.
Combined with handcrafted Brandwein ceramics in contrasting black and white glaze, you’ll surely want to enjoy Oates’ heirloom quality furniture. Practical pieces like benches, TV consoles, and American hardwood sideboards with minimal rustic details have an indelible visual appeal thanks to his years as a fine art sculptor displayed in galleries and renowned institutions such as the Whitney Museum.
night design
Rooted in traditional crafts and influenced by the pottery styles of North Carolina and England, Brad Lyell’s eponymous line of wheeled stoneware was made on small launches in his Catskills studio. Product versions at Lail’s online store usually sell out within a day or two, so here’s your chance to get a highly saturated, hand-mixed glaze in nature-inspired colors like Fawn, Bluestone, Moss, and Rhubarb and take some cups, bowls, or pasta bowls in person.
Umber and Uker
Umber & Ocher apparel company was founded in San Francisco by Kunal Desai, a Mumbai native who grew up in his family’s clothing business. The company strives to create an ethical supply chain by working with family-run factories in India whose artisans use handwoven natural fibers, traditional pattern and dyeing techniques. Swing in and enjoy the curated seasonal collection of men’s and women’s clothing featuring intricate processes such as ikat, brushed pottai, and wood and leaf prints.
make mana
Are you looking for high quality, sustainably made jewelry at affordable prices? Enter Mana Made, a New York City-based line created by designer and metalworker Amanda “Mana” Poulsen. Crafted in Paulsen’s New York City and Los Angeles studios, each piece is crafted using recycled metals – a sustainable practice that also helps keep costs down. Pieces like the Seapod Ring and Scallop Charm in Brass are striking yet understated enough for everyday wear and reflect the coastal mana roots of the Long Island’s East End and Southern California.
Ran leather goods
After the favorite Italian designer of leather handbags retired from Connecticut-based Rane Leather Goods, she threw herself into the study of leather sourcing, tanneries practices, hand-sewing techniques and taught herself how to make her own leather handbags. The company uses ethically sourced and reused leather goods to make tote bags, wallets, clutches, and belts in classic neutral colors like black, brown and natural.
The Field + Supply Spring MRKT station will take place at Hutton Brickyards in Kingston on May 27, 28 and 29 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Proof of vaccination is required and advance tickets are recommended.
