Set on 73 acres of Hudson riverfront property in Kingston is the historic Hutton Brickyards, once home to a brick-making manufacturer that supplied materials for iconic New York City structures like Yankee Stadium and the Cloisters. Today, its remaining industrial architecture—three soaring steel-frame kiln sheds—play host twice a year to a different kind of waterfront maker magic: Field + Supply.
Founded by interior designer Brad Ford in 2014 as a modern interpretation of a traditional arts and crafts market, Field + Supply brings together a carefully curated selection of makers from across the country for one of the region’s most anticipated events. This Memorial Day weekend, May 27 to 29, over 200 vendors in a wide range of categories—from high-end furniture and home decor to apothecary goods, ceramics, clothing, jewelry, and small-batch food and beverage products—will gather for three days of shopping paired with live music, demos, and gourmet fare from local vendors.
Want some help deciding who to make a beeline for when you arrive? We’ve put together a shortlist of must-see makers you won’t want to miss.
DBO Home
Husband-and-wife design team Dana Brandwein and Daniel Oates are the makers behind DBO Home, an artful line of homewares, including ceramics, serveware, bronze objects, lighting, and custom furniture, made by hand in their Litchfield County studio.Along with Brandwein’s handcrafted ceramics in contrasting black and white glazes, you’ll definitely want to linger over Oates’ heirloom-quality furniture. Practical pieces like benches, TV consoles, and sideboards made from American-sourced hardwoods with minimal, rustic detailing have indelible visual appeal thanks to his years as a fine art sculptor exhibiting in acclaimed galleries and institutions such as the Whitney Museum.
Lail Design
Rooted in traditional craft and influenced by the pottery styles of North Carolina and England, Brad Lail’s eponymous line of wheel-thrown stoneware is made in small-batch firings at his studio in the Catskills. Product releases on Lail’s online shop typically sell out in a day or two, so this is your chance to ogle super-saturated, hand-mixed glazes in nature-inspired hues such as Fawn, Bluestone, Moss, and Rhubarb and snag a few mugs, plates, or pasta bowls in person.
Umber & Ochre
San Francisco-based clothing company Umber & Ochre was founded by Kunal Desai, a native of Mumbai who grew up surrounded by family in the apparel business. The company seeks to create an ethical supply chain by working with family-run factories in India whose artisans use hand-woven natural fibers and traditional pattern and dyeing techniques. Swing by and swoon over the curated seasonal collection of men and women’s apparel featuring intricate processes like ikat, brush-painted potai, and woodblock and leaf printing.
Mana Made
Searching for quality, sustainably made jewelry at affordable price points? Enter Mana Made, a New York City-based line created by designer and metalsmith Amanda “Mana” Paulsen. Each piece is fabricated in Paulsen’s New York City and Los Angeles-based studios and made using recycled metals—a sustainable practice that also helps lower the cost. Pieces like the brass Seapod Ring and Scallop Charm Necklace are striking yet minimal enough for everyday wear and reflect Mana’s coastal roots on Long Island’s East End and southern California.
Rane Leather Goods
After Connecticut-based Rane Leather Goods founder Kate Cook’s favorite Italian leather handbag designer retired, she threw herself into the study of leather sourcing, tannery practices, and hand-stitching techniques and taught herself how to make her own leather totes. The company uses ethically sourced and repurposed leather goods to make its strikingly minimal, customizable tote bags, wallets, clutches, and belts in classic neutrals like black, tan, and natural.
The Field+Supply Spring MRKT will take place at the Hutton Brickyards in Kingston May 27, 28, and 29 from 10am to 6pm. Proof of vaccination is required and advance tickets are recommended.
