Discover jewelry of mixed metals, stones, and fossils, uniquely created by Nancy Fleming. It is jewelry you will be proud to wear. Terri Logan uses river rocks and sterling silver to create a natural earthy look that is handsome and strong. Each rock has an energy or personality. Fred and Janis Tate collaborate their work with precious metal jewelry. Their work is bold, and yet elegant. Jennie Keatts works with pottery and gem stones to create a very artistic line of mixed metal jewelry. Love pearls? Wait until you see the pearl and sterling silver jewelry by Rebecca McNerney—you will want to wear these everyday. The clasps are so lovely you will want to wear them in the front.

See functional pottery, which is non-toxic and durable enough for daily use on the table, in the oven and dishwasher, turned and handbuilt by David and Sheri Hoffman, Sarah Rolland, Rob and Beth Mangum, and Maggie and Freeman Jones. Fun Pottery by Laura and Mark Evangelista will brighten your table and delight your guests. They use bold colors of red, black, yellow, blue, and green. Find large raku pears and apples, and other pottery by Don Williams. Mike Taylor's bamboo handled vases are a knockout. He creates other fine pottery such as platters and wall hang sculptures. You will enjoy our large selection or functional and fun pottery!

To coordinate with the pottery there is a unique line of loose and fluid blown glasses by Prentice Hicks that come in five sizes and nine colors. They are colorful and fun to use; your guests will love them. Enjoy seeing blown glass fruit and veggies by David VanNoppen, Thames Glass, and Luke Adams.

Enjoy Christmas ornaments year-round with clay animals dressed for all occasions by Janice Butler. Blown glass ornaments by Little River Hot Glass, Theo Keller, Young Constantine, and Luke Adams are also available.

Sculptural figures and reliefs of terra cotta by Rodney Shaw are collected by many, and so are whimsical clay animals, birds, angels, Noah's Arc, and nativity sets created by Janel Lund. Janel's work is as much fun as the artist herself. See lifelike clay animals by Patricia Simons.

Judy Rand creates wooden sculptures in various sizes and shapes. Some will cover a whole wall, while others are just a small cat looking at its reflection in a mirror.
