Conversations with an Artist: Krista Gambrel of Ende Collective

We discovered Krista, the creator behind Ende Collective, at a trade show and listened from the sidelines as she told some visitors to her booth about a piece she designed. We were captivated by her storytelling, inspirations, intellect, creativity and modern jewelry design. We invited her to spend some time with us at the shop. And are excited to carry her collection. We are thrilled to introduce you. Read her story and meet her in person Wed June 7, 4-7pm.

For a weekend getaway we think Austin's got great food, a rich music scene and enough art and culture to make it one of the coolest cities around (though, summer is hot and humid so take heed).

Conversations with an Artist: Judith Lemmens

Jeffrey was a judge last year for the annual Mill Valley Arts Festival where Judith Lemmens was exhibiting her handmade ceramics. All three judges on the panel unanimously honored Judith a Best in Show. It was only natural we would then visit her studio—and get to know more about the Julems collection, her strong sense of object and her decorative approach. We're excited to carry a full range for your enjoyment!
