Artwave.PDM

Art

I'm an artist and maker creating watercolor and acrylic paintings inspired by nature, color, and especially time spent at the beach. Following a successful career designing healthcare spaces, and curating art programs, I now paint fulltime. My work is rooted in a lifelong love of flowers, gardens and shorelines and using color, pattern and design to create original works. I'm drawn to creating art that feels vibrant, welcoming and full of personality ... I believe art has the power to connect, inspire and bring a sense of warmth, calm and everyday joy to all spaces.

Five F Fabric Shop

Clothing / Accessories

I created Five F Fabric Shop in 2024 with the support of my family and friends. You know that feeling you get when someone tells you a gift was handmade for you? That’s the feeling I wanted to bring to local craft shows, the “OMG you made this?!?!” Or “Wow that’s a great idea!” When someone steps into my booth I want them to be blown away by the craftsmanship of my products. I have been sewing since I was young with the guidance of my mom who had years of experience. Some things you’ll find in my booth are cosmetic bags, tote bags, wristlets, keychains, aprons for adults and children, hotpads, icecream and bowl coozies, and holiday themed items.

Forrest and Finn

Bath & Body/Apothecary

At Forest and Finn, I handcraft crystal-infused oils that blend botanical healing with crystal energy. Using high-quality, sustainably sourced carrier oils like jojoba, almond, and coconut, I create nourishing blends that support both skin health and spiritual well-being. Each oil is infused with carefully chosen, cleansed, and charged crystals—amethyst for clarity, rose quartz for love, citrine for abundance—allowing their energy to merge with the oils over time. Essential oils and botanical extracts enhance both scent and healing properties. Made in small batches with mindfulness and intention, these oils offer a unique, holistic approach to self-care.

I grow responsibly, sustainably, and with love for the earth and our local community.

Pretty Bitty Clay

Jewelry

Hi my name is Ashley and I am a polymer clay artist. From a young age I loved to dabble in art, from doodling to painting. It wasn't until my early thirties that my day job stress drove me to pick up a new form of art to decompress from the day. I discovered the world of polymer clay and never looked back. For the past six years I have honed my techniques, including sculpting and color mixing. I create jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. I have also begun to venture into creating pins and magnets. My style is very whimsical. I love a custom request to get my creativy wheel spinning!

Shared Joy Bows

Clothing / Accessories

Hi! I’m Jenn — a homeschool mom, wife, and small business owner. My husband Chris and I have 5 children, and this business began after my first daughter was born so I could stay home with her while still providing an income.

I’ve always loved making and creating, from picking out beautiful fabrics to curating fun collections. (I can never pass up a good floral print!) Each piece I make is filled with heart and care, and I truly pray that it shines through in my work.

Slugtoe Ceramics

Pottery

I create functional ceramic pottery and mosaics infused with touches of the natural world in earthy colors and botanical imagery. My framed mosaic wall-hangings are created with foraged wild clays and glazed with found materials like rocks, plant ashes, recycled glass, and ceramic waste. My mini oil paintings, painted on reclaimed wood scraps, depict the natural landscapes I’ve traveled to and collected natural ceramic materials from. My work spans several mediums, yet carries through a deep consideration for sustainability while maintaining a closed loop waste system throughout my studio practice.
