Hand Felted Dot Vases by Patty Benson.
Based on form, function, and bold color, Patty Benson’s fiber art utilizes the time-consuming technique of crocheting and wet felting wool to create tactile pieces with a contemporary twist.
Her fiber art combines her love of wool and modern home decor. “Felted wool doesn’t have to look old-school,” she says. “I enjoy applying the ancient technique of felting to modern design and creating new, functional uses for the art form.”
She stands behind a non mass produced sensibility and enjoys working with wool because it is a renewable resource. Each piece is lovingly created in her one-woman home studio.
Hand Felted Bowls by Patty Benson

Nancy’s work is inspired and informed by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and all the wide-open natural spaces her home state has to offer. The Zoller style incorporates leaf, pine branch, and seashell patterns into each piece. The repeated pattern and graceful lines of nature never seem to grow old… Learn More

Sushi Platter, Sake Set, Fluted Bowl, & Soy Bowl - Porcelain with Tenmoku Glaze and melted glass detail.
Artist Bio:
She took her first pottery class over a decade ago and has been enamored with clay ever since. She sees the potter’s wheel as a vehicle that enables her to join movement and spontaneity. She prefers simple shapes and steers clear from fussy decoration because she believes the marriage between clay, form and glaze speaks for itself.
Karen’s current work is a collaboration between clay, fire and glass. Small bits of glass melt during the glaze firing leaving a “pool” of translucent color in the bottom of the bowls. These small puddles of glass fuse with the glaze leaving a smooth surface. They can be gem-like, reminiscent of semi-precious stones or ice formations. Each firing yields different results so replication is next to impossible.
Her functional serving pieces are meant for sushi and other communal foods and, when not in use, make stunning display pieces. Karen hopes to enhance the everyday ritual of eating by making it a beautiful and unique experience.

Gold Nutty Bowl by Thomas Philabaum
Tom’s blown glass bowls, vases, and perfume bottles are wonderful!
This Gold Nutty Bowl has an iridescent “reptilian” exterior that shines in a variety of colors, depending on how the light hits the piece.
It measures approximately 5″ high x 5″ diameter.
We’ve also added a few of the artist’s trademark perfume bottles, a must-have for collectors. As the light shines through the iridescent jewel-tone exterior, it creates a fascinating optical effect on the interior bubble. Very, very cool…
