CraftBarn
Quilts, thrown pottery, woven baskets, and hand-tied brooms made the slow way. These are the goods that get used every day and still look better with age. Every piece is one of one.
This is the barn for the things that hang on the wall or sit on the table for fifty years. Quilters, potters, broom makers, basket weavers — folks who learned from somebody sitting beside them.
