I started crocheting 8 years ago when I was pregnant with my third baby. I wanted to make something beautiful for him so I grabbed a big hook and some chunky yarn and away I went. Which started out as a simple project has turned into a whole business and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have this beautiful outlet to express myself.

"Hello! I’m Amy Nelson. Being in nature and the great outdoors is where I find peace and inspiration. Colors from the beach, sky, woods, ocean and mountains are where I find my heart and soul returning to. I have been inspired recently to begin making wind chime/sun catchers to try to bring a remembrance of the places and times in our past…a connection of a color, sounds…a feeling of where we have been or where our souls long to be. My hope is that you find the exact place your soul is happiest through this work and that it delights your heart and spirit. "

Red Circle Pottery

Location:
Windsor Heights, IA

"I have always been fascinated and driven by simple skills.  This has led me to a variety of interests, including martial arts, wood turning, leather working and more recently, pottery.  Each of these disciplines have allowed me to achieved some level of artistic freedom.  Pottery has become a passion.  The depth and complexity of glazes and forms is an endless source of learning.  Like most things, it costs money to make pottery.  My goal is to share my most beautiful pieces with you.  And in return I am allowed to continue making new pieces.  It’s a relationship between potter and customer that I am looking to build."
-Andrew Violet

"I grew up in a home where we used handmade pottery every day.  I attended wood firings from a young age and was mesmerized by the kilns.  I have been inspired by pottery from around the world, but mostly from my own back yard.  I am grateful to have grown up in the presence of beautiful, functional pottery.  I love working with clay and exploring the forms that can be drawn from it.  This pursuit offers the potential for a lifetime of learning and growth.  I love the feeling of anticipation that comes with each firing; opening the kiln is such a joy, each and every time."

Bex Glasserie 

Location:
Madison, WI

Hi! I'm Bex, an educator and lifelong artist from Madison, WI. Stained glass is a very special medium for me - I learned the Tiffany Method from my grandma who has always encouraged me to create and be passionate about art. She learned this skill while living in Columbus, Ohio in the 60s. A church on her street was being torn down and the beautiful stained glass windows were just going to be thrown away. She knew of a local shop that worked with stained glass so she took the glass there and asked if they could refurbish it. The owner offered her an apprenticeship so she could learn how to fix it herself and she has been working with stained glass ever since!
