herban space

our latest project, HERBAN SPACE, is our most exciting one yet! we have a new space to hold our free events/workshops in atlanta, as well as a space for our vintage/thrift store. the space is huge...2,600 square feet! right now it's an open space, and we have plans to create areas for workshops/gatherings, a store, a recording studio and art studio.

there is also a courtyard that connects our other space, (1,700 square feet) which we will use to open a wellness center, offering natural products, food, workshops, and holistic services.

electric kiln

thanks for all your interest and emails about the kiln. it has been sold. as i told many of you, i will keep you posted when i find another one. if you are in the atlanta area, wonderroot is a great place to fire your work if you don't have a kiln of your own. it is a great organization with lots of events and resources, and membership is $10/month or $60/year! can't beat it with a stick!

duncan ceramic kiln $250

This is a Duncan electric kiln, nodel # DK820x-2. It comes with 3 shelves, and 2 boxes of supplies (cones, etc.)

this doll was just listed in my sustain shop

the free thrift store went well back in august. i haven't done another event since i've been back in atlanta, but i plan to get started with some more projects like that this spring. until then, i am creating some dolls from recycled materials, and some handbags as well.

i started an etsy store for sustain, and 100% of the profit will be used to help the families and individuals that i had in mind when i started the organization.
