Veronica Riley-Martens

Wonderful new summer collection of jewelry from Veronica Riley-Martens has arrived! Veronica creates pendants, necklaces (many adjustable in length), bracelets, & earrings using Tagua nuts. The Tagua nuts are eco-friendly, organic nuts that come from palm trees only found in the rainforest, making them a valuable, renewable source which encourages the preservation of the forest. The nuts are dried, sliced/cut into various shapes and dyed. Veronica combines different textures, colors, shapes and sizes to create unique, mosaic, one-of-a-kind creations that are fun to wear!

Sandy James

Sandy James begins her creative process by pulling leaves from her own garden or using twigs, nuts, leaves or seeds she picks up when hiking. Each of these little found treasures are then carefully dipped (electroplated) in copper and finished with Sandy's lush, green patina or the rich bronze finish, creating her truly nature-inspired earrings, pendants, pins & barrettes.

Rich Kolb

The gallery (and a good part of our front yard) has been taken over by all of these wild & wonderful creatures from Rich Kolb! Each one is made from upcycled & recycled metals in his Louisville, Kentucky studio, conveniently located near a scrap yard. From wine bottle holders to hanging sculptures, hanging plant holders, flower pot stands, salt & pepper sets and mini critters, they are sure to bring a smile to your face! Find your favorite little beasts - cats, dogs, frogs, dinosaurs, horses, giraffes, birds, bats, sharks and more...

Amy Elswick

Amy Elswick creates earthy & refined functional & decorative clay works ~ cooking & serving pieces, mugs (called coffee logs with their bark-like finish), candle-holders, goblets, gondola vessels, and more...

"I am intrigued by textures and use a variety of tools to achieve a unique finish. My inspiration comes from manipulating the clay. I find a great deal of satisfaction in being able to carve or scratch into leather hard clay, completely changing the energy of a pot. My glaze palette evolves with time; there are standard favorites, but also many days of testing new mixtures in the studio. All glazes used on food service pieces are safe for your culinary creations and also fine for the microwave and dishwasher, although hand washing is best." 

Rena Hopkins

Rena Hopkins delivered a fresh new batch of her up-cycled, found object and Steampunk-inspired jewelry ~ pendants, necklaces, earrings & cufflinks that are both modern & old world. Find many sea-faring designs, along with starry skies, cats, butterflies, ladies of the circus, and a series of black & white dog portratis.

"My background in the arts is varied, from burlesque to fine art, and this mix of high and low brow is a recurrent theme throughout my work.  Expect a strong sense of traditional design combined with unusual materials and wicked humor."
