In moments of change, creativity becomes a sanctuary for growth. 🌱 The Art of Healing exhibition brings together two distinct voices to explore the beauty found in transformation. Christine Hager-Braun’s intricate fiber art and Lucinda Brogden’s contemporary jewelry serve as gentle reminders of our shared resilience. We invite you to find a moment of peace and connection in the gallery, on view through September 26th. 🎨✨

Handcrafted Highlight: Cynthia Aldrich

For more than 45 years, Cynthia Aldrich has explored the possibilities of clay, creating both functional pottery and expressive ceramic sculpture. Her work moves between the familiar and the unexpected, from her beloved blue and cream stoneware to sculptural explorations of the human form.

A Piedmont Craftsmen member since 1992, Cynthia’s work reflects a lifelong curiosity about shape, surface, color, and the many ways clay can communicate an idea.

In Memory of James “Jim” Sockwell. Exhibiting Member in Wood, 2018-2026.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Piedmont Craftsmen member James “Jim” Alexander Sockwell, who passed away September 1, 2026, at the age of 84.

Jim was a talented and deeply resourceful craftsman whose creative journey spanned both pottery and wood.

A juried member of both the Southern Highland Craft Guild and Piedmont Craftsmen, Jim was also a member of the American Marquetry Society. His dedication to craft was recognized with the Southern Highland Craft Guild’s Lifetime Member Award.

We are grateful to have known Jim as a member of our craft community and to have had the opportunity to share his work with our audiences. His ingenuity, craftsmanship, and joyful approach to making will be remembered and missed.

Our thoughts are with his wife of 64 years, Sheilah, his family, and all who knew and loved him.

LAST CHANCE! EVERYTHING IS NOW $10 AND BELOW! Shop the Second Hand Clyde Sale, a curated release of gently lived-in ceramics by Clyde Gobble. These pieces carry subtle signs of their journey, from small chips and fine cracks to light wear, adding character rather than taking it away. Each item is fully functional and uniquely individual. Nothing here is mass-perfect, and that is the point. This collection is for those who appreciate history, texture, and a little imperfection at the table.
