Hannah Jean: Ceramics inspired by the beauty and magic of Western Washington. Delicately handcrafted cups, bowls, mugs, travel tumblers, spoon rests, planters, and more. Each piece is 100% unique, and made by hand in Gig Harbor, Washington.

Robin Bundi: I’m a Seattle-based artist, designer, and teaching artist inspired by the natural world. As a child, I spent my days picking weeds and flowers and exploring creative pursuits, and not much has changed. Today, I create nature-inspired watercolor paintings that celebrate our connection to the land, offering little pieces of trail and garden to bring into everyday life. My artwork is available as prints, cards, and stickers. I also craft small-batch watercolor paints made from foraged, garden-grown, and thoughtfully sourced plants and earth pigments. Each color tells a story, such as a rich golden hue made from marigold petals grown in my own garden, offering an earth-connected alternative to mass-produced art materials.

Bunnybeegirl: I grew up in Seattle and enjoy living in the PNW. I have always been a crafter and took up the art of plaster casting five years ago. I love casting plants, flowers and found objects because it allows us to enjoy them a bit longer.

Saze Glass: Sue and Zeke are partners in life and glass who love to share their creations through Saze Glass. Whether making large scale home decor in the hot shop or objects for everyday use, they like to capture the shiny and refractive essence of glass. They use precious metal fume, opals, and special colors in their mugs, jewelry, and sculpture.

Joelle Hanton Art: Joelle of Joelle Hanton Art creates paintings, prints, and stationery that invite viewers into a world of quiet wonder. Blending gouache, watercolor, and acrylic with digital tools, her work captures the poetry of everyday beauty—where nature, nostalgia, and imagination gently intertwine.

Blue Cactus Press: A grassroots publishing house crafting books that serve as community resources, by collaborators from historically marginalized groups. We create books that encourage community conversations and move us toward liberation.

MoonAndCauldron: Laura Irene is a queer, autistic, multi-media artist based in Seattle, working under the name Moon & Cauldron. She specializes in small-batch ceramics and playful crochet amigurumi, blending spooky and body-inspired themes with nostalgic charm. Her handmade work includes pieces like ghosts, bat ornaments, and her signature “Madge” ceramics—designed to bring both humor and heart into functional art. Laura is an active member of Seattle’s creative community and brings an inclusive, thoughtful presence to every market she joins.

Stacy Hsu Design and Illustration: Stacy Hsu is a Seattle-based illustrator and designer creating botanical and wildlife artwork inspired by the landscapes she explores. Her work blends careful observation with quiet storytelling, celebrating plants, ecosystems, and our connection to the natural world. Through fine art prints, cards, and paper goods, she hopes to bring a little wonder from the garden into everyday life.

Hoolia Art: Hoolia is interdisciplinary stained glass artist with a background in illustration. Their often takes inspiration from the natural world and science with a little bit of a playfulness woven in. Insects, plants, animals, microbes, and bodies are all commonly reflected in their work.

Kendyl Chasco: I live and create in the Pacific Northwest, a setting that is overwhelmingly inspiring. The inherent beauty of the natural world that surrounds me is what I strive to capture in my finished vessels.  In my work I aim to produce aesthetically unique objects. I am privileged to get to finish my work in atmospheric soda firings and wood-firings, exciting and dynamic processes that ensure that every surface is one of a kind.  My hope is that my pieces find their way into homes where they will be adored and admired, used in ways that elevate the day-to-day rituals of one’s life.
