Bringing Handmade, Contemporary Craft to You

Our mission is to bring art, craft and imagination into peoples' daily lives. We like to use the words "handmade" and "contemporary" to describe how we do things.

Contemporary because the artists' work you see here is being made today.

1. The designs are not copies of someone else's work. .Each is a unique, original design.
2. The design or concept of the piece is also contemporary. It is conceived and planned by the artist.
3. Most of the time, items are made to order for us.

Handmade is important, too.

1. Not only are the pieces made by hand,
2. They are also made by the artist /designer themselves or within their own studio.
3. who came up with the design is usually the one making it.
4. This means you can feel the artist's heart and soul in each piece. Be it a chopstick, a kaleidoscope or a necklace or a piece of furniture, you will see and feel the attention to detail: the finish, the shaping, the mix or purity of color and texture.

Made in the USA by Independent artists and craftspeople.

Your support directly helps and encourages living artists working on their original designs in small studios throughout the USA. They symbolize "Buy Local". Whether a potters mug or a diamond ring, each piece is has enduring value, each is designed and handmade to be treasured for generations.
