Oh my, it's almost October!

We love the changing of seasons - colors of the leaves shifting to a beautiful fall palette, and teases of crisp, fresh weather suggesting something new is in the air!

Join us in our delight as we celebrate American Craft Week, present an ART Raffle, offer a coupon, welcome new artists, host a BENEFIT and enjoy the latest deliveries from your favorites. Check out the bevy of artful events we have planned for this month and beyond...

Enjoy the whole indigenous leaflet to find this month's special offer. We're here seven days a week, so we're happy to help you find the perfect pieces, and add our complimentary, signature gift-packaging to every present too.

October 2-11

Celebrate American Craft Week

Join us as we celebrate the wonders of American craft by recognizing the enduring value of handmade by sharing a variety of local craft artists with you. During the Celebration of American Craft Week you can meet accomplished artists; experience the excitement of contemporary craft-making; enjoy a special show; & help raise money for Empty Bowls by taking part in our ART Raffle fundraiser.

Here is a bit about this national event, from the founders at Craft Retailers & Artists for Tomorrow (CRAFT): It's an opportunity to celebrate the wonders of American craft. Every day thousands of American artists share their vision and talent by producing amazing hand-made decorative and functional objects. And every day thousands of craft retailers share their love of these items by displaying, promoting and selling them. As one craft artist put it, "this is the creative economy!"

American Craft enriches our homes, wardrobes, offices and public spaces. It contributes to our nation's economy, our balance of trade, and the fabric of our national history. It is original, beautiful and enduring, so let's tell the world!

This is one of our favorite times of the year ~

American craft is WHO WE ARE!

Featured artists & events:

October 2-11 ~ ART Raffle benefiting Empty Bowls
October 3 ~ Debra Klopp ~ Spooky creatures Trunk Show & Demo

October 4 ~ Laura Davis, Core Clay & Clay Alliance Pottery Throw-Down

October 10 ~ Linda Stiles Smith, Make your own Silver Fingerprint Charm

introducing new artists ...

Jason Kiley

Please welcome new Hillsboro, Ohio potter, Jason Kiley, to our indigenous family of artists! Jason delivered his first batch of fun pottery - bowls, plates, mugs & cups with his creative decals of wonderfully wild combinations of imagery ~ cats + dinosaurs, Star Wars characters & skaters, Pee Wee Herman + Storm Trooper, Cap'n Crunch Cereal Killer and more! Some cups are cast from beer cans - the "average joes" and others from tin cans, "vagabonds". All to enjoy & make you giggle a bit.
"I am a studio potter who has combined my love of collage with my love of clay. I do this through the use of decals that I create and print for my ceramic work. I decorate my ware with combined imagery ranging from historic photos to pictures of my cat Dumptruck. Through these strange collaborations I work to achieve a sense of nostalgia, and to make you laugh."

new and delightfully spooky ~

Tracie Redleaf

We're thrilled to announce that local clay artist, Tracie Redleaf, has joined the indigenous family of artists once again. Tracie has exhibited with us during our Halloween Hullabaloo in the past and she has just delivered a new collection of her spooky, cool, colorful, and imaginative clay works. Find sweet, little lidded mugs featuring our favorite movie monsters along with sculptural, dimensional wall vessels of haunted owls and skulls inspired by the Day of the Dead!
