The Arthritic Artisan™

It all started when…

I wanted to do something with my hands to help stop the pain from arthritis so I started sculpting and making art dolls. As it turns out I really enjoy it and I’m not half bad. I knew I was creative but I have never had an opportunity to really explore that side of myself. Now is my chance! Once the ideas started they were like a waterfall that wouldn’t stop flowing. I literally have notebooks filled with designs that will keep me busy until my last day on earth. My husband says when it comes to me thinking outside of the box; there is no box. I took it as a compliment!

Then I started thinking; this type of creativity is not everybody’s cup of tea. I wanted to have something for everyone. Items that aren’t massed produced by machines but rather one item at a time by a living person. While this takes a lot of energy to get from concept to research and development to design to a tangible item each piece is worth it knowing we employ humans rather than machines

I am really excited about the pieces that are in process of being designed and developed and I hope you enjoy the items already available. New items will be added as they are completed.
