Wares are woodfired, sporting wild yet rustic finishes with licks of fire and ash leaving a distinct warm imprint on clay. Bottle some with by bringing home a fantastical face jug, one of the earliest forms of expressive American art. Pair that with edgy, raw clay appetizer tray or abstracted, splashed tableware. Many mini-habitats in the form of woodfied rowhouses and dwelling statuettes reflect Old Town’s classic colonial architectural flavor.
Seek sleek, dazzling finishes in kilnforned glass and crystalline-glazed vessels. Enjoy the vivid, playful medium of glass in festive functional trays, bowls and plates yet revel in wintry clear and frosted finishes echoing a winter wonderland. Make a statement with Zoom-worthy flashy glass pendants to start the new year in style. Crystalline pottery is glam and glitter forward, offering elegance that elevates interiors with an array of vases. Wonder at wonderful dishware with opulent crystalline mugs, cups, bowls and tea sets.

Chinese brushpainted pomegranate and squirrel stoneware jar with sculpted finial by Tracie Griffith Tso of Reston, Va.
Find comfort in original paintings of the tranquil scenery of the season, snug serenity and heartwarming nature-based compositions. Makers have the feel for feed-good art from the heart as studies speak to beauty, spirit and optimistism. See birds flitting and preening, gentle landscapes and soothing scenes in a selection of prints, hanging tiles more.
Ornament offerings are the grand finale of original artistry tucked into bite-sized miniatures. Beaded berries, miniature mugs and decoupage abstract globes coexist with capybaras, hippos, rabbits and rhinoes. Miniature mugs and pitchers are the toast of the tree where original cardinals, swallows and insects alight.
Delight in our artisan wonderland. O’ come ye!
