Forty Ducks specializes in handmade bags, housewares, and children’s goods. All items are designed and fabricated by Stacy Gilinson in Astoria, NY.
Forty Ducks will be at the Brooklyn Indie Market on Saturday, November 8th and Saturday, December 6th.
Stacy Gilinson sews in her NYC apartment on her mother's old Singer. She creates all of her pieces by first making her own patterns. Many of her Forty Ducks creations are inspired by gifts made for friends. Stacy is self taught when it comes to sewing but has a formal background in fine arts.
Stacy holds a BFA in General Fine Arts and a MAT in Art Education from Maryland Institute College of Art. After finishing school in Baltimore, Stacy moved to NYC to pursue a career in education. She has taught for museums, schools, and non-profit organizations. In her free time, Stacy likes to explore the city, experiment in the kitchen, and read.
