Lori Thompson

When Lori isn't in her studio, she enjoys gardening and spending time with her family.

He has shown his work at the New Mexico State Fair Professional Fine Arts Exhibition. His work is sure to enhance any room of your home.

Austin Marland

A fourth-generation woodworker, Austin Marland moved to New Mexico in 2012 to pursue a career in woodturning. At 17, he made a honey dipper. He quickly realized the need for quality handcrafted items like cutting boards, rolling pins, and bottle stoppers. Austin sells these pieces and more at the shop.

MaryAnn Lancaster

MaryAnn Lancaster is a jewelry maker who left her Midwest home in 2013 for New Mexico. She creates her designs using elemental and earthy tools. Her pieces are meant to be worn for all occasions. Best of all, she makes them in her studio, surrounded by her two rescue dogs.
