We're excited that our artful autumn is here! There are new artists, new designs, and a series of events with special shows, demonstrations, and fundraisers. We strive to promote the tradition of handmade, contemporary craft and support the community of creatives, while trying to give back to causes that are near & dear to our hearts.

Please join us for a fun Third Thursday next week! Enjoy wine & cheese as we celebrate our favorite local charity, Save The Animals Foundation (STAF), with a BENEFIT for them during our Craft & Wine Night on September 17. Along with the cats, dogs, & volunteers of STAF, Michelle Christman will present a Trunk Show & demonstration of her needle-felted animal sculptures! Yay ~ a fluffy pet fest!

If you're ready to turn over a new leaf, be sure to read the entire indigenous leaflet to find this month's special offer. Check out the new indigenous artists and our calendar of artful events. Shop the collection seven days a week, and remember we'll add our complimentary, signature gift-packaging to every great piece you pick.

Save The Animals Foundation Benefit, September17

Michelle Christman Trunk Show & Demo
September 17, 3-8

Meet Michelle Christman on September 17 as she presents a Trunk Show of her latest work and demonstrates techniques in creating this lovely collection of needle-felted wool animal sculptures. Needle-felting is an interesting process to see in person, as it begins with just a fluffy ball of wool! We're thrilled to have Michelle finely paired with the Save The Animals Foundation BENEFIT! We hope you will join us and enjoy our pairings of artist & organization along with tasty wine & cheese too!

keeping it fresh ...

Artful autumn offerings are arriving in force! New pottery, jewelry, fiber arts, metal works, and so much more is being added to our dynamic handmade collection.

Please help us welcome this month's newest members of the indigenous family of artists - Tanya Casteel, Jack Pine, Kathleen Hubbard, & Nora Catherine. Get ready for another local potter, Jason Kiley, to deliver his wares soon too!

introducing ...

Nora Catherine

Nora Catherine creates a lively collection of modern jewelry with clean lines, cool swirls & spirals and lovely leaves & branches. Each piece is hand forged in solid copper, bronze or sterling silver. Copper & bronze are double clear-coated to prevent tarnishing. From a sweet drop, to her bold, signature statement hoops, Nora offers chic styles for everyone.

Jack Pine

Please welcome new Columbus, Ohio glass artist ~ Jack Pine, to the indigenous family of artists! Jack creates a renowned series of pumpkins and glass vessels, using layers of colored enamels and precious metals to create his signature organic textures, luster, and rich colors.

Kathleen Hubbard

Kathleen Hubbard has been designing expressive jewelry for more than 25 years. Working in nickel silver, bronze, brass, copper & sterling, she designs a line of spirited pieces with rich textures. With nature & animals as her inspiration, alongside a bit of humor, Kathleen artfully captures some of our favorites ~ cats, dogs, birds, bugs, & flowers.

Kerin Houseberg

From the vivid imagination of fiber artist, Kerin Houseberg of Bucyrus, Ohio comes our new collection of characters! Each soft-sculpture is one-of-a-kind adorned with a great costume and wonderful details, letting you imagine what their life story must be. Many can hang on a wall, stand upright, or sit on an edge, as most have adjustable appendages. Be sure to see her

Halloween-inspired pieces along with shoulder dragon pals too!

artfully sparkling ~

Ellen Hamilton

We love the sun shining on our art glass collection ~ it looks especially nice on our super selection of fused-glass serving pieces by Ellen Hamilton ~ bold colors, fun graphics, sweet flowers & classic smashed wine bottle cheese trays ~ all made by hand by Ellen in Belmont, Ohio.

Jessica & Tyson Geib

More great new pottery has arrived! This time, a fresh selection of our Lollipop Pottery by Jessica & Tyson Geib of Perrysburg, Ohio. Find monsters, skunk fairies, swirlygigs, lil' birds and more in a number of bright new glaze combinations, including mint, pink, green apple, & sunshine yellow. For the most part, Tyson does all of the throwing while Jessica adds her original transfer designs and glazes, as they say, "created in 75 easy steps". Whew! Each step might be easy, but a lot of work goes into creating this line of happy pottery, made by a couple of happy people!
