On December 8, we went out to CahaBAZAAR Holiday Market at Cahaba Brewing Company which is a day of family fun, local artist and makers, food and beer. A place where you can get all of your holiday shopping done in one place.

We first ran into Christopher Funderburk, who is the owner of Infinite Soaps, a local business with two retail locations in Birmingham that creates lye soap and other natural skincare products.

We met up with Roger Torbert who creates unique paper weaving and collages. In his work, Mr. Torbert takes things that he finds old and new; for example, a dictionary. He re-imagines them to create designs, patterns, and shapes that tell a new story.

“A story with a nod of respect to the past object and a bold assertion of something new” – Roger Torbert
