Glass & Wood
vases, dishes, jewelry, pens, baskets, boxes
Art glass can be created in a multitude of shapes, incorporating color through a wide range of techniques. These handmade items can be cast with the use of molds for shaping and ribbing, and the artist can use a Batik technique to produce decorative bubbles.
Wooden boxes are constructed from recycled or up-cycled materials. Each box is one of a kind, purposed for holding keepsakes, jewelry, recipes, tea, or rings.
We also carry baskets woven from local kelp and hand-turned wooden pens.
Ceramics
Unique Firing Techniques. Custom Glazes
Each of our ceramic artists uses different clay bodies, glaze applications, and firing techniques. Some pieces are hand built, stamped, and molded to create items like dishes, wall hangings, and sculpture. Other artists work at the potter’s wheel to create bowls, vases, plates, mugs, and dishes. Much of the work is high fired in a electric kiln, leaving a food-safe finish, safe for oven, dishwasher, and microwave. One of our artists specializes in Raku firing, a Japanese technique that produces a unique, unpredictable blackened, metallic, or crackled finish.
