Let's begin with Maude from Bits and Barley where you will find fun and funky handmade accessories and decor! In the artist's own words: "Hi, my name is Maude and I live in the awesome East Texas area with my husband, two dogs and cat. I spend my days running a family owned and operated lawn and garden equipment shop but in the evenings I step into the magical place I feel most at home, my studio. I love making things and love it even more if I can find a way to reuse or reinvent something. A lot of what I make is from recycled materials although some things are just being born. My primary hope is to make things that bring a smile to your face & add a little bit of fun to your life."

Our third Indie Junction Featured Artisan is Victoria of Little Wren Pottery where you will find ontemporary handmade English dinnerware for your table. All the pieces are handcrafted in Sunderland, England in stoneware clay. In the artist's own words: "In 2007 I graduated from Dundee University with an undergraduate degree in Interactive Media Design but I also love working with my hands to create pottery.I find that in the digital world we're all too often removed from creating real tangible things, my Dad encouraged me to take up pottery after graduating. He's a great potter himself and I certainly wouldn't be half as good if it wasn't for him!I'm from Sunderland which is a coastal city in the north east of England. It has a great reputation for pottery and ceramics and in some small way I feel like I'm carrying on the tradition. My work is inspired by other local potters, being outside in my garden which has quite an active bird population and Japanese pottery - in particular the potter Shoji Hamada. Although pottery is my main pastime I also do other creative projects and I'm a keen knitter." Catch up on what's happening with Little Wren Pottery on Twitter and on her blog!!
Now let's take a look at her wonderful pieces!
