Sundance

You probably know about the Sundance Channel, but you may not be aware that Robert Redford also has a wonderful catalog in which he features the work of some top notch artisans. Yes, the prices are high, but the money goes to support the Sundance Institute.

" In 1969, Robert Redford purchased land at the base of beautiful 12,000-foot Mount Timpanogos in Utah's Wasatch Mountains. This pristine place of natural beauty radiates splendors of giant pines and aspen trees, gurgling streams, sweet fragrant air, and fields of wildflowers. It has become the Sundance Village. The goal of the Sundance Village is to offer a community for art and nature that would foster artistic pursuits and recreational activity while preserving the naturally beautiful and unique environment of Sundance. At the base of the Village was a tiny store which guests would frequently write to, requesting special items they had seen while visiting Sundance.

Twenty years passed and requests for the store's unique offerings spread beyond the box canyon. People who had visited Sundance began to write back to the store from all over the country: "Do you have any more of that item, and could I get it sent to me?" and people they knew wrote, "I saw an item my friend purchased at Sundance. Would it be possible for me to buy one?""
