(And, as we always do at this time of year, we have cookies!)

Today, we start with new items by Jennifer, one of TCL’s most popular artists. Her ceramic pieces are works of art – she imprints her clay with everyday objects and stamps (many of which she makes herself), hand-builds each piece, then layers glazes to highlight the imprinted patterns. From tiny candy dishes to large scale vases, your ceramic wish is her command. Prices vary.
