Fire it Up!

 Michelle Phaneuf Ceramics

By day I am a graphic designer. By evenings and weekends I am a potter. My two lives have joined together to create simple, graphic, modern tableware. Highly usable and highly beautiful. My work is wheel thrown and altered before the first firing. It is then glazed and fired again. Custom designed decals are then applied and each piece is fired for a third and final time.
All images are permanent on the piece.

Cute as a Button

 Lasting Attachments

Through the years, I have collected fabric, linens, lace, buttons, hand embroidery and crocheted items. The beauty of the fabric and buttons are what inspire me. Whether it is new or vintage, every piece has its own special unique touch or as I refer to it, a “lasting attachment”.

- Renee Martin

Cinch Up Your Felt

 Felt Sutra

All Felt Sutra pieces are made entirely by hand using ancient feltmaking techniques – they are built rather than sewn. Beginning with natural fleece, both the material and the item are made at once in a meditative, sculptural process which involves just soap, water and the artist.

Let Me Count the Clays

 Elizabeth Benotti Handmade Ceramics

Working with clay serves as my meditative process in life. It grounds me and it is gratifying to create something solid from a mixture of earth. With my ceramics I explore the relationships between color, image and form. I manipulate clay into sculptural objects as well as everyday functional ware.

In the Pink

 Pink Pigeon Creations

- Beth Rosa

Belt it Out

 AWC Designs

With a passion for adornment, I began making belts and other bits a few years ago. I love fabric and all the exciting colors and designs that are available. Finding ways to bring fabrics to life can make an otherwise hum-drum pair of jeans or a t-shirt have zing. Belts are such an easy way to add zing and color to your every day jeans. Enjoy.
