I want you to fall in love with your uniquely designed and beautifully colored soap. Shower time should be a highlight of your day. :) ~Jennifer Hofmann

A Cut Above
MEET THE ARTIST
"We were founded in 2001 when I began collecting scraps of wood left over from various contracting projects and using them to create creative presentation platters. That was the first step towards A Cut Above. Soon I began laboring over more and more cutting boards, each one increasing in creativity and complexity. Most of my boards now incorporate “repurposed / recycled” hardwoods as well as numerous exotic species. From there, my passion for woodworking spread to the rest of the family." ~ Steve Strout

Quicksilver Glass
MEET THE ARTIST
"Glass affords many exciting properties for artists, including texture, color, transparency, and the ability to be shaped and fused with heat. I enjoy working with glass in a kiln to represent the interplays of light and surfaces in nature, and using glass’s properties to achieve the effects I want, whether it is creating dappled light among the trees, movement of water in a rushing stream, or in giving a fabric-like texture to a bowl."

BMcCormick Art
MEET THE ARTIST
"I am a digital artist based in New Hampshire that specializes in the colorful, odd and surreal. Throw in a dash of humor and you now have a general idea of my kind of art. We are all a sum of our experiences and I’ve always drawn inspiration from my childhood growing up in the 90’s with my love of skateboarding, comics, cartoons and video games. It was the perfect recipe for gravy brains. But, here we are. All grown up, I strive to make pictures appealing enough that you would want to have them as a permanent fixture in your home."

Cheryl Cohen Mosaics
MEET THE ARTIST...
"My main inspiration is nature. I love watching water, how it makes impressions in sand, how weeds work their way around and through rocks, and how flowers appear in the least expected places. I love seeing the sheen of water and the mica in rocks, seeing reflections in puddles, how rain sparkles on leaves after the morning dew. I strive to have these moments depicted in my work."

New England Carving

"My art practice started in 2019 when I became a member at my local makerspace. I immediately fell in love with the laser cutter and couldn't stop coming up with ideas of things to cut. I ended up getting my own laser cutter, a Laguna.
I get inspiration for my work from a variety of sources, including abstract art, mathematics and nature inspired patterns, and patterns from various cultural traditions." ~Alec Danaher

"My love of art started at a very young age from a board game called Master Piece. I was mesmerized by all of the artists represented. Watercolors have always intrigued me with how the water can take the paint in different directions."

WrightPix Photo Gifts
MEET THE ARTIST...
"Pentax K-1000. That was my first love, the camera that made me obsessed with seeing life through a lens. It was a college graduation gift from my mother. Looking back, the camera wasn’t really the gift. It was the passion that was ignited, the spark of euphoria that I felt when I was taking pictures. All the smiles I’ve captured, the miles of film (yes, film!), the millions of megabytes, the bins of negatives, the 40 family photo albums, the workshops and photo adventures… they are a constant source of accomplishment and amazement. I’ve learned so much and am hungry to learn more, do more, see more, capture more."
