Raquel Zemtsov
Please help us welcome Raquel Zemtsov to the indigenous family of artists. Raquel has added some extra cuteness to our collection with her small felted sculptures - little creatures, pumpkins, sweet hot drinks, and lovely landscapes. Raquel lives in East Walnut Hills and was inspired to start selling her felted works with us when she was walking her dog by the gallery everyday when we were closed. Keeping it local (+cute)!

Laura & Dan Hennig
Wonderful, sculptural and functional clay works from Dan & Laurie Hennig have arrived! Impressive details, textures, and surface manipulations help define the characters captured in each thrown & handbuilt clay creature. Vases, pitchers, teapots, cruets and mugs are here for every animal lover!
|
Faryn Davis
Faryn Davis just delivered a new collection of her alluring and unique jewelry. Each hand painted creation tells a story - with starry nights, forests, moon phases, fireflies, the Milky Way, woodland creatures, and sweet songbirds, there is surely an adventure to lure you in! A number of new pieces in the collection have encased geodes, crystals, and sea coral for added depth & detail.

Laura Lynch
Kentucky clay artist, Laura Lynch sent a fresh new selection of her pottery and sculptures to indigenous. Find plates, cups, tea bowls, planters, and a variety of vases in her modern, stylized nature-loving designs - plus her wonderful creature sculptures!
"My work consists mainly of wheel-thrown functional pots decorated with under-glazes, oxides and sprayed glazes and finished with a high fire in an electric kiln. I like the visual interaction between a solid glazed surface and a colored decoration on a bare clay background. I want my work to illustrate my love of nature and modern design and depart from traditional pottery aesthetics."
|
Clare Rumpke
Beautiful new one-of-a-kind vessels from local potter Clare Rumpke have arrived. Clare creates vases, candle holders, decorative birdhouses and lidded vessels using a variety of alternative firing techniques achieving remarkable surface textures, colors and finishes. One must see and hold each piece in person to appreciate the detail!
|
Daniel Luck
Release the beasts! Daniel Luck delivered his newest troupe of little monsters and creature cups to indigenous. Each is a one-of-a-kind, wild, colorful, drinking vessel with personality. Expect extraordinary texture, detail and intrigue, but never fear - every little beast is as friendly as Daniel!
|
Sam Hitchman
Wonderful functional & decorative stoneware from Sam Hitchman is back in stock! After a year+ of rebuilding his pottery studio, he is now keeping very busy throwing and firing! We have a full collection of Sam's designs in the natural & turquoise glazes. Find everything you need for the ultimate handmade kitchen ~ cookware and serving pieces along with Ikebana vessels, vases, nautilus wall platters and more. Our favorites include mugs, bowls, pitchers, chip + dip sets, casseroles / veggie steamers and of course the popular brie bakers - in 2 sizes.

Deb Chenault
Fall favorites at indigenous include copper and sterling works from Deb Chenault of Berea, Kentucky. Deb added a sleek yet organic, and a bit industrial new collection of hand worked mixed-metals jewelry. Many of her pieces are titled and include a story card so we can share her inspiration with the buyer or wearer; designs include - The Seven Sisters, Wabi-Sabi, Seed, The Portal, Waning Moon, Changes and more.
Story of The Seven Sisters (third photo):
The subject of legend in nearly every culture, the "Seven Sisters" name is from Greek mythology, where seven beautiful sisters were ardently pursued by Orion until Zeus took pity on them, turning them into a flock of doves that flew to freedom and protection in the night sky. Though telescopic observation has revealed that this open cluster we now call the Pleiades is comprised of some four hundred stars wreathed in a complex nebulæ of dust and gas, in antiquity, only seven stars were visible to the naked eye. My hope is that this talisman celebrates with its wearer the wonder of the night sky, bringing her the protective power of Zeus, and the freedom of the dove.
