Handmade In KC!

Are you looking for the perfect gift for your friends and family this holiday season? Look no further! Come to my 2nd annual studio sale on Small Business Saturday! Ditch the Black Friday stampede and support your small, local, handmade business owners!

I am opening my doors to you for a pop up studio sale!

This event will include way more than just my work too! It will also be host to many of Kansas Cities best makers! See below for the full list! 

Small Business Saturday is an American shopping holiday held on the Saturday after US Thanksgiving during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. It was first observed on November 27th, 2010. It is a counter part to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which feature big box retail and e-commerce stores respectively. By contrast, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local.

To Tanzania, With Love, KC

In July of 2016 I will travel to Arusha, Tanzania to volunteer with Walk in Love International. Walk in Love International, Inc is a registered NGO and Not-for-profit. Their mission is to assist and support vulnerable families that are struggling to keep their children, a child relative, or an orphan in their homes and communities. They focus on empowering women, families and communities through their programs. I will be volunteering for Walk In Love-Made With Love. This program is dedicated to empowering women by sending them to vocational schools and teaching them different trades and skills.

The idea of this journey and my involvement began last summer when my dear college friend and Founder of Walk in Love International, Aubree McClelland Packard, invited me to come to Arusha to volunteer in my skills as a potter and train the women and families of Walk In Love in the ceramic arts.

The women will be trained to make a quality, functional items that can be sold to support their families. By supporting my trip to Arusha you will be supporting a mother, you will be supporting her small business, and you will give her the empowerment she needs to take care of her family and children."
