Floral Wreath with Butter Flower Farm
This fall, we are lucky to have local dried flowers from Butter Flower Farm in the shop. We spent a beautiful fall day creating with Larissa, learning the art of wirework and floral design to craft custom wreaths!
Gem City Ceramics Autumn Shop Update
This shop update features months of work—some pieces I've been creating for years, while others pushed me to explore new methods in sculpture and surface decoration.
