Meet Damien Ossi: wildlife biologist in Washington D.C., urban nature geek, woods walker, and nemesis to invasive plants. He does beautiful woodwork and carving, and will be exhibiting gorgeous carved spoons made from a variety of wood species. They make wonderful presents, so come stock up!
Like people, Andrew’s work is quirky and unique. These are traditional pots, durable and down to earth. They are formed on a foot-powered wheel using traditional techniques before being glazed and subjected to the flames. Find pho, rice, cereal and salad bowls, bottles, teapots and tea-bowls, heroic beer mugs, and a variety of coffee mugs for your table. All ware is microwave and dishwasher safe and with care can last a lifetime!
Lauren Matthews of Rasp & File Designs creates simple and beautiful wood designs such as coffee tables, dining tables, benches, bookshelves, coffee pour overs, and other home décor and kitchen items to fit your lifestyle, space, and personality. All pieces are one of a kind and unique to the individual client.
Tracy, of TV’s Bees, has been a beekeeper in Mount Rainier for four years. Her colonies are in backyards around town. While Tracy primarily produces honey for family and friends, in years of abundance she sells her excess to pay for her beekeeping habit. Tracy thinks Mount Rainier honey is special, and thinks you will, too.
