It's been a hot and lazy summer in Beaufort, but the cool breezes have seldom failed us.  We continue to have a steady stream of wonderful new work for you to enjoy.  Stop by!  We'd love to see you!
 
Colors of the Sea
Austin Designs
Sandwashed Glass by Austin
The sea-style glass used in this jewelry is primarily recycled glass, created from broken bottles, stained glass remnants, and beads. This colorful glass is broken, formed and finished in Austin's studios, then tumbled with genuine beach sand, gravel, and salt water to replicate the roll of ocean waves. The resulting sand-etched finish turns these pieces into modern sea jewels.

Larrabee Ceramics and Clay Born Pottery
Large Bowl by Bruce Larrabee
We are very pleased to have two new potters on board. 



Bruce Larrabee has worked as a fulltime potter since 1983. He knew at an early age that he would make a living with his hands. In 1979 he took his first pottery class and was hooked. His stoneware is beautiful, affordable, and completely functional.

Furry Friends

 

 

 

 

Meet Remy.  Remy, short for Rembrandt, is a 2 year old Belgian Tervuren.  He loves Beaufort almost as much as he loves stealing socks.  His humans, Jack and Melanie Kibelbek, live in Cincinnati, so Remy spends most of his time there.  He has been visiting Beaufort since he was just a pup, so he feels quite at home here. We always enjoy his visits. 

 

 

We hope you have enjoyed our newsletter and we would love for you to come see us!

All the Best,
Alison, Jill, Kate, Linda, Sharon, Anne, Cecelia, and Jessica
