Devotion to Craft

We love exploring the creativity out in the world and finding objects and artists that tell a story. So you enjoy an experience, a conversation starter, and a meaningful addition to your collection, or for those you gift.  Pieces that are reflection of your individual style and which elevate the everyday.

Don't miss our new drops of one of a kind and limited edition jewelry, art and home goods!

Uncommon gifts, jewelry, art and home goods at Poet and/the Bench at 11 Throckmorton Avenue in Downtown Mill Valley

About Our Name

Jeffrey’s vintage jewelry bench is a powerfully present icon of his craft and our symbol of all makers’ tools for creating: the painter’s canvas, the textile designer’s loom, the potter’s wheel, the materials that become things…

Our mission—narrative’s ability to connect through thoughtful investigations of craft, subjects and inspirations—is the poetry, and about people and the appreciation of beauty.

Poet and/the Bench is our platform—online and at our flagship store in Mill Valley, CA—to introduce emerging and independent artists, muses and uncommon discoveries, and give them a voice. And for you to be linked to stories in a way that makes it all more personal.
