Join us on May 9th from 11-3, the day before Mother’s Day, for a very special pop up with local artist Ella Gluckman Ella’s earrings are intuitively made using seed beads. No two pairs are alike. They are slow stitched, often while she does the work of motherhood. Her designs come from her fascination with color and the relationships between colors and shapes, patterns and a deep exploration of balance. She envisions her earrings as small, soft sculptures that add whimsy, reverence, beauty and pleasure to your style.

Check out our new collection of Oaxacan ceramics by Sara Garcia Mendoza, a talented artisan in her own right and the youngest daughter of the famed Maestro Jose Garcia Antonio and Maestra Teresita Mendoza Reyna Sanchez. Their family studio Taller Manos Que Ven (“Workshop Hands That See”) is one of the most celebrated ceramic folk art studios in Oaxaca.

Over two decades ago Sara’s father, Maestro Jose Garcia, lost his vision to glaucoma. He now makes large-scale forms from memory and imagination and his wife finishes the details. His wife is his greatest love and muse and many of his pieces feature her face, complete with the mole on her forehead. Sara and her siblings work as pottery artisans in the studio, interpreting the family’s themes through their own distinct styles. Most of Sara’s pieces in our collection feature her mother’s face.

Join Mt. Airy jeweler at Ruby Mountain Goods to create a custom pendant made from the fingerprints of those you love. Perfect as a gift for Mother’s Day, parents, grandparents, or to treat yourself. 

Niki will take an impression of your loved one’s fingerprint(s) in wax. The imprint will then be cast in sterling silver or gold and finished into a beautiful, wearable memory, ready to pick up the week of Mother’s Day. 

Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome! Reserve your 20 minute appointment in advance or stop by anytime between 11:00 am to 3:00 pm to create a cherished keepsake. Link in bio.
