Matt Cutter, Owner/Founder Upslope Brewing Co. Flatirons Bank customer since 2009 I was looking for a partnership with a bank that would take the opportunity to see our vision and understand our business.

Flatirons Bank was creative in putting together the financing we needed, and their responsiveness and local decision making allowed us to move quickly. Their continued support in the growth of our business has been essential to our success.”

Flatirons Bank is proud to be the lender of choice for local businesses.

AROUND TOWN

(CON TI N UED)

Fast forward four years and Vian (now Vian Isak) has cracked the code of gleaning income in the world of streaming in the modern music business, with his label encompassing a stable of numerous different artists and boasting 30 million streams in 2017 alone.

This has generated enough revenue for Vian to hire his brother Hein for help in running the company.

A couple of months ago Vian contacted Tom, his former mentor. He explained that some of the most popular playlists on Spotify consisted of instrumental music, and Vohnic Records had no such material in their catalog thus far. Vian wondered that since Tom had composed and recorded numerous instrumental pieces for film, theater, and modern dance, if he might want to release a recording on Vohnic, and Tom’s response was “of course, why not”?

Thus was born Tom Wasinger’s first solo album since 1985: A Mended Soul. Seven solo guitar pieces composed over the course of the last 40 years. You can hear it at Spotify.com.

TINKER ART STUDIO MOVES TO LARGER SOUTH BOULDER FACILITY On January 8th, 2018 Tinker Art Studio relocated to a new South Boulder custom-built space in order to expand its programming, located at 693B S Broadway, in the Table Mesa Shopping Center.

The bespoke build includes five separate areas: a ceramics studio and kiln room, a painting & drawing studio, and mixed- use studio, a make-andtake space, and a small retail space. The new studio also includes a private patio, allowing teachers and L O U I S V I L L E, C O L O R A D O

GIVING BACK

INTERVIEW SARAH HOCKEL ARTICLE MARLEY JERANKO | PHOTOGRAPHY ALEX BEAL

GO ON, GIVE US A SMILE

TEN FINGERS, TEN TOES, ONE STRONG WAIL. It’s how we imagine—we hope, rather—all children come into the world. But what happens when their first appearance is made with a cleft lip or palate, or congenital deformities classified as microtia? That’s where Dr. Catherine Weng, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Peak Ear, Nose and Throat Center in Broomfield, and the support of Help Us Give Smiles (HUGS) Foundation come in.

Now in her third year volunteering, Dr. Weng was introduced to the HUGS Foundation during her fellowship training, where Dr. Quatela, founder of the organization, was her mentor.

Since 2003, HUGS has been dedicated to liberating children from their congenital deformities and allowing them to develop into confident individuals. The organization has sent medical volunteers, such as Dr. Weng, on 26 missions throughout Guatemala, Vietnam, and Ecuador to perform over a thousand surgical procedures, free of cost, on children born with these conditions.

Within a week, a group of six to ten surgeons can complete up to 50-60 life-changing surgeries.

Put this into perspective: in the United States, surgery for Microtia can cost around $40,000 per child. For the same amount, HUGS can help nearly sixty children in Ecuador.

According to HUGS, families are often broken apart when a child is born with a physical deformity. In some countries, the family feels as though a curse has been placed upon the child.

Dr. Weng recalls one Vietnamese boy named Ky, who had long hair on one side because he was trying to cover his small ear.

“He spoke perfect English and was about seven or eight years old,” she reminisced. “He told us, I was born without a normal ear just like your patients and I want you to fix my ear so I can look like a normal boy.”

For children like him, the work she contributes is an opportunity to erase that shame.

“It's very rewarding,” says Dr. Weng. “The kids are resilient— they go through so much.” Ky is one such example. “He does all of these English competitions—that’s his thing—and he updates us on the awards he won,” she says with a smile. “That little boy is the one that stuck with me most.”

In 2018, HUGS will again have three missions, and Dr. Weng hopes to participate on one of them.

“I continue to volunteer because I find it so rewarding to be able to give back to kids in communities around the world and to make a difference in these children's lives,” Dr. Weng says. “I return to the same locations to see the results of our previous year's surgery, and I return for the wonderful opportunity and incredible fun I have working with some of the most talented surgeons I've met.”

Donations go directly toward implementing these missions and providing critically needed medical supplies. For more information, visit HelpUsGiveSmiles.org.

HOT SPOT

(CON TI N U ED)

A LINE FORMS AWAITING THE 4 P.M. mark as doors open to Santo Boulder, Restaurateur/Chef Hosea Rosenberg’s newest restaurant in North Boulder. As I arrive, Chef Hosea and his staff are gathered around prepping for the night ahead, and the bustle begins.

You may have heard of Chef Rosenberg before; he's the man behind one of Boulder's best, Blackbelly (his first food truck turned restaurant), specializing in whole-animal butchery. He took a different route when designing his second concept and cuisine found at Santo. The inspiration comes from his hometown, Taos, New Mexico.

The seasonal menu shares his take on New Mexican fare, featuring a variety of fresh flavors while never forgetting the importance of the chile.

The casual spot has a modern and cool aesthetic, like Blackbelly, but with Southwestern design details.

For example, you can't miss the one of a kind lighting fixture paying homage to the ancient Zia Sun symbol and small ‘Santos,’ or saint figurines found presiding around the dining room.

As I settled in, Chef Rosenberg and wife/PR Rep for Santo, Lauren Feder, explained that they would be bringing out an array of cocktails, appetizers and plates that were a mix of chef and customer favorites.

And just like that, a unique variety of salsas: piña with smoked pineapple and jicama, verde with tomatillo and green chile, fuego with fire roasted tomatoes and chiles, and guacamole were placed on our table with local blue corn tortilla chips. As if this starting spread wasn’t enough, they brought out a colorful smoked rainbow trout tostada on a blue corn tortilla shell and their beautiful Little Gem Salad.

To wash down our variation of starters were three handcrafted cocktails, each with a twist: A Nitro Mezcal Old Fashioned, The Sangre and the Zia. The Zia cocktail features Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, and Feder explained the background information about the label art—designed by Ken Price—which represents the single village in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The main courses began rolling out as different staff members stopped by to check in and let us know their favorites on the menu. First came the Crispy Folded Tacos with Pork Adovada with sides of rice and beans. The main event was the delectable Wood Oven Half Chicken with Roast Winter Squash, Kale and Mole Rojo (a chef favorite).

All of the food and drinks perfectly complemented each other and brings a pleasant variety to the Boulder food scene. In conclusion, it's Tao's cuisine with a delicious twist.

As the meal wraps up, feeling so delightfully satisfied (and full), I am already thinking about the next time I will be in that line out front patiently waiting for the clock to strike four.

Call it chance, and it ties in perfectly with Shively’s story. Her weavings have evolved to what she calls “records of chance,” designing patterns with primarily wool and cotton fiber pulp with a flip of a coin (or occasionally a magic eight ball). Although her role as an artist takes a backseat to motherhood, Shively’s daily adventures with her son are recorded, like a diary, through patterns, color and simple designs.

X XV TODD REED OPENS UP ABOUT THE EARLY YEARS OF BUILDING HIS FINE JEWELRY BUSINESS AND HOW, AFTER 25 YEARS OF SUCCESS, IT'S EVOLVED FROM JUST A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.

ARTICLE MARLEY JERANKO | PHOTOGRAPHY ALEX BEAL

Boulder Lifestyle | February 2018

“BACK THEN, I WAS JUST A KID,” SAYS TODD REED, FOUNDER AND CHIEF CREATIVE OF THE FINE JEWELRY STUDIO, TODD REED INC. “I was super naïve—I didn’t know a thing about business.”

Nevertheless, Reed’s business has thrived for 25 years strong. So, despite what he says, he must have done something right…

THE EARLY YEARS

Of course, there’s more to the story than Reed leads on.

That first team of jewelers? Those were Reed’s buddies.

“I was like, hey, I can’t really pay you, but you can live out here and make jewelry—I’ll teach you what I know!” he laughs.

It was a simple trade: food and space in his house for metalworking and stone cutting and setting.

The arrangement couldn’t last forever, but it was a start.

BUILDING THE BRAND

At the end of high school, Reed moved to Durango. To

DESIGN, FIRST AND FOREMOST A lot has changed in the company’s 25 years. “But at the same time,” Reed says, “design is and has always been the driving force."

“I like playing with design more than trying to say something— that’s been consistent through everything I’ve ever done,” he elaborates, “But at the beginning, I was using design to question society and its relationship to value.”

To do that, he started using a rough diamond cube, a 4-mm cube that equals 1 carat in weight, which is what the Todd Reed brand has since been built on.

“At the time, there was a big ad campaign that said, she’ll like you at a half carat, but she’ll love you at a carat—it just felt ridiculous.

or how big your diamond was.” Reed adds, “Now, I’m continuing that emphasis on design and still being playful, but more with emotions—be it rage, sexiness, loyalty and so on—not just making stuff to make stuff.”

One of his most recent designs comes from a memory he has while sitting in a Jacuzzi in Puerto Rico with his daughter. Most people look at it and call it ‘Starry Night.’

Reed reaches behind his seat, sifting through items scattered across the desk. He locates a shiny, anticlastic metal cuff with small clusters of varied sized jewels saturated near the base, rising and then tapering at the top, giving an effervescent-like effect.

“For many years, I was making fun of diamonds; I was kind

“In a way, my emotional sensitivity has dictated the direction of the business, and that has been the biggest lesson thus far: to follow my intuition.”

(CON TI N UED)

MORE THAN JUST BUSINESS Reed admits that business has not always been his forte.

“Sometimes the universe would want the business to grow, and I wouldn’t let it get bigger—I would hold it back because I wasn’t emotionally ready. Or sometimes we would be too big, and I would get scared and shrink stuff to keep myself healthy and the work innovative; and then the universe would tug at the reigns again, and we’d get bigger, and the work would suffer.

“In a way, my emotional sensitivity has dictated the direction of the business, and that has been the biggest lesson thus far: to follow my intuition.”

You might say that, for Reed, his work is treated more like a relationship. Reflecting on this, Reed ruminates for a minute before answering, “I’m still young, so this business has been most of my life. It’s an extension of me and my growth, my development—not only as an artist but a human.

“It wasn’t that much of a coincidence that the moment I became a father, my business started to become more responsible, more consistent and trust became a bigger part of my value system.”

He adds, “The jewelry business has allowed me to be creative and to live with my heart on my sleeve—I might not have been able to do that in other directions of life.

“It’s just been so damn good to me.”

FORGED AS ONE

MEET THE TODD REED JEWELERS | Josh Pass |

While in college, my professor arranged a show of metalsmiths around the country and Todd was one of them. His design sense immediately appealed to me, and he was a semi-local artisan that I wanted to work for. The woman working in the gallery overheard me talking to my girlfriend about it and suggested I call him. She had recently worked for him and said that he’d been receiving a lot of publicity at the time and could probably use some help. I emailed him that night, and a couple of days later I had a bench test. The rest is history. I’ve worked for Todd 11 years this January. || Ashley Tidrick || We have the benefit of working closely with Todd to better capture his visions. In an industry whose big players are continually seeking to streamline their products and processes and further distance the jewelry from a specific maker, we have the luxury of fully investing our creative touch into each piece. ||| Jared Porter ||| I love that Todd gives us a lot of freedom in making a piece of jewelry start to finish.

There is a great feeling of accomplishment and pride with every piece you finish. So many other shops have jewelers doing one specific step in a process, and that one piece of jewelry could be working on by several people. |V Andi Polzkill |V I was drawn to the rawness of Todd’s work: the rough diamonds, the brushed finish and the repetitions of cubes and bezels common in his work at that time. It has a real boldness that appeals to me.

Hadley Girl Gives Back ARTICLE KELLI RUHL | PHOTOGRAPHY HADLEY GIRL

HOW KELSEY ROSS IS USING BOWS + ROMPERS TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT OFFERING SIMPLE, SWEET AND SOMETIMES SASSY BOWS, AND COZYCOMFY CLOTHING CRAFTED TO LAST, BOULDER GROWN HADLEY GIRL HAS QUICKLY MADE A NAME FOR ITSELF. Kelsey Ross, the founder of Hadley Girl, has established an avenue to both create clothing and accessories for little girls, and to give back to the community that supports her.

58

Boulder Lifestyle | February 2018

Hadley Girl is named for Ross’ own little Hadley, the second of her three children. The company began not as a company at all, but as a chance for Ross to use her creative side to dress her little girls in the pretty, delicate bows she simply wasn’t finding in stores.

Ross’ love for bows harks back to her own childhood surrounded by her three brothers, where due to an unfortunate bowl haircut— bows functioned more as gender identifiers than fashion accessories. Though Ross’ girls didn’t inherit her trademark cut, Ross wanted to pass on her love for bows. So, she put her crafting skills to work and began creating what she sought.

What began as a hobby soon morphed into an Etsy shop, gaining momentum from there and blossoming into a full-fledged company.

Now, three years down the road, Hadley Girl continues to grow and thrive, currently offering bows and rompers with basics and woven pieces to come this spring. The company's foray into clothing was inspired by Ross’s desire to dress her girls in cozy, comfortable clothes that—and here’s the key—last. As any parent knows, the quality (and usefulness) of baby clothes truly falls on how much they can survive, and as Ross found, most of the clothes she wanted to dress her daughter in couldn’t last long. So, once again, Ross is filling the void.

HADLEY GIRL GIVES BACK

Ross

acknowledges

(CON TI N U ED)

that

sometimes

having a line of clothes for little ones can feel "silly and vain," but her goal is to create pieces that are useful and durable—her way of helping moms avoid wasting their money—and that will allow young kids to express themselves and come into their own. Beyond this, however, the true beauty of Hadley Girl lies in the incredible opportunity it has afforded Ross—the opportunity to give back. The entrepreneur found her first chance when Ivy, an acquaintance’s daughter who was just a bit older than Hadley, was diagnosed with Leukemia. This hit close to home for Ross, so she crafted a beautiful green bow-aptly named “The Ivy,” and for a month all proceeds from the sale of The Ivy went straight to its namesake's medical costs. From there, Ross has routinely found small ways to support her community, from donating bows to auctions and gift baskets for single moms, to supporting organizations like the Denver Dream Center.

As Hadley Girl moves forward and becomes more established, one of Ross’ primary goals is to find specific organizations close to her heart—and to the hearts of her customers—and to support them with a cohesive giving plan. For now, she continues to use her platform to make an impact on her community in every way she can.

LONGRIDGE WINE ESTATE

IN CAPE WINELANDS NEAR STELLENBOSCH, SOUTH AFRICA

STYLE: Chardonnay (96%)/Pinot Noir (4%) FLAVOR:

CRISP CITRUS ON THE NOSE, PICK UP ON THE RICHNESS OF PINOT NOIR ON THE END. Well-balanced acidity between the blend of white and red.

AROMA: Bright. Hints of grapefruit, pineapple and other citrus.

WOULD TASTE BEST WITH: Its light yet robust flavor would pair well with a variety of dishes during cold months, like a kale salad topped with goat cheese, salmon entree or even a butternut squash soup.

OVERALL: When drinking wine from Baobab, you can drink your wine and feel good about it too! They follow organic practices in the production of grapes for their wines, meaning no herbicides or chemical sprays are utilized.

FINAL COMMENTS: While it may not be every day you find a blend of Chardonnay with a hint of Pinot Noir, The Emily is a great, versatile choice. Its bright, clean flavor makes it easy to enjoy on its own or with any flavorful dish this winter season as warmer months are on the horizon.

BEHIND THE NAME: The Emily wine is dedicated to Emily Hobhouse, a humanitarian and pacifist that visited South Africa during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. Hobhouse, British born, visited concentration camps in South Africa in December 1900. Once she returned to London, she organized a women’s protest in June 1900 to express opposition against the actions of the British Army in South Africa and expose the conditions of the concentration camps. She founded the South African Women and Children Distress fund to collect money and supplies for families affected by the war, later returning to personally distribute those supplies. The Emily serves as a tribute to Hobhouse’s courage and women everywhere, fiercely fighting for equality and their beliefs.

The Emily is available for purchase at Boulder Wine Merchant, Summit Wine and Spirits and select retailers restaurants across Colorado. For more information, visit BaobabWines.com.

ARTIST’S PALETTE

PIECES BOULDER'S LIBERTY PUZZLES

OF ARTICLE LISA VAN HORNE | PHOTOGRAPHY POPPIES + PAISLEY PHOTOGRAPHY

ART 68

Boulder Lifestyle | February 2018

MANY A FAMILY AND GROUP OF FRIENDS HAVE SAT AROUND AN EMPTY TABLE, DRUMMING THEIR FINGERS IN ANTICIPATION, AS A BOX OF JUMBLED JIGSAW PUZZLE PIECES IS POURED OUT IN FRONT OF THEM. It’s this image, one of friends gathered in conversation and laughter, that inspired Liberty Puzzles Founder and Co-owner Chris Wirth to create his unique Boulder business 14 years ago.

“Jigsaw puzzles are a social vehicle,” says Wirth, “something meant to bring people together.”

The golden age of jigsaw puzzles was the 1930s, as the Great Depression had people seeking inexpensive entertainment. The popularity of puzzles, then typically wooden and hand-cut using a scroll saw, exploded. By the early 1940s, however, die-cut, or stamped, cardboard puzzles hit the market, and the hand-cut puzzle’s popularity waned. It’s the artfulness and creativity synonymous with hand-cut wooden puzzles that Wirth aims to bring back into prominence, and into people’s homes.

Each puzzle at Liberty is the result of an elaborate creative process kick-started when the art print subject matter is chosen. Wirth, partial to bright colors and busy, exciting compositions, adds that searching for new puzzle art the best part of his job.

Lynon Aksamit, staff artist with Liberty Puzzles for ten years, then conceptualizes the design of the puzzle’s cut pattern, ensuring individual pieces reflect the art’s content. “Whimsy” pieces, hand-drawn to resemble recognizable forms that correspond to the puzzle’s theme, are a signature of Liberty Puzzles and are dropped into the design for extra character and charm. For Aksamit, a 500-piece puzzle design can take ten hours of drawing, resulting in a puzzle whose pieces and design are works of art themselves.

Liberty

this

whimsy and humor into their character as a business as well.

At their Boulder factory, visitors can tour the facility and see much more than the manufacturing and laser-cutting

processes.

Their

“Wall of Shame” is comprised of photos of canines who have mistaken a precious puzzle piece for an oh-so-chewable treat. Don’t worry, the replacement puzzle piece is free, but a photo of the guilty pup is expected in return.

Opening a Liberty Puzzles store on Pearl Street Mall three years ago simply felt right for Wirth and his local business. Wirth looks forward to the upcoming release of a collection of Dr. Seuss puzzle images and continuing to create artfully crafted puzzles for the Boulder community and beyond.

“WHAT I LOVE ABOUT JIGSAW PUZZLES IS THAT THEY ARE DECIDEDLY NON-DIGITAL,” SAYS WIRTH, FOUNDER AND CO-OWNER OF LIBERTY PUZZLES. “WHAT YOU HAVE IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE SITTING AROUND A TABLE, TALKING AND LAUGHING, WITH ALL SCREENS AND TECHNOLOGY TURNED OFF. IT’S OLD-FASHIONED ENTERTAINMENT.” February 2018 | Boulder Lifestyle
