Our artisan Katherine has been commissioned to create pieces for museums across America, including The White House Historical Association, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and The American Museum of Natural History. Inspired by her travels to Peru and Mexico, as well as her schooling at École du Louvre in Paris, Katherine’s designs span a wide range of artistic styles. Her successful career began during her childhood, when she sold jewelry from her little red wagon on the beach at Fire Island. Today, thirty years later, she handcrafts each piece in her Madison Avenue studio, taking inspiration from the sights and sounds of New York City. She hopes that each piece she creates will bring joy to the wearer.

As an apprentice to jewelry makers in Israel and Denmark, Avi developed a decidedly international perspective on design – and life. Throughout his career, he has used and shared his talents to help others, mentoring new artisans as well as employing people with disabilities in his workshop. An avid supporter of human rights causes, he participates in empowerment programs for Arab women in Israel, and volunteers at a refugee center for African women in Tel Aviv, bringing the same passion to helping his community as he does to jewelry design.
When Donna, our New Hampshire artisan, first took up pottery, she dreamed of ways to put the healing energy of crystals into people’s hands – literally! Today, she handcrafts gracefully shaped and artfully glazed pieces from clay infused with quartz crystals, believed to promote healing.
Their newest work of art is this cheery seamstress, Stitch. She starts as a hand-blown Polish glass ball upon which our artisans bestow a unique personality. Each ornament is given just the right head full of fanciful trims, including ribbons, buttons, pins, even a mini pin cushion.
