What We’re Making This Christmas — Handmade Craftsmanship

December doesn’t always look the way people expect it to.

There are no assembly lines in the studio. No rush to produce something just because the calendar says it’s time. Instead, Christmas arrives quietly — through slower mornings, softer light, and the familiar rhythm of hands returning to the same materials they know by heart.

Handmade Craftsmanship in the Studio

This season, we’re not making anything dramatically different.

We’re continuing what we’ve been making all along - handmade craftsmanship.

Each piece begins the same way it always does: with time. With attention. With decisions made stitch by stitch, not because they’re efficient, but because they’re right. Some days are spent refining details most people will never consciously notice — the balance of a shape, the feel of a finished edge, the way a piece rests when placed down.

That kind of work doesn’t change for Christmas. If anything, it becomes more intentional.

December invites reflection. Not just on what is being made, but how it’s being made — and why. It’s a reminder that handmade objects carry the season differently. They don’t arrive wrapped in urgency. They arrive carrying hours, focus, and care.

In a time when everything moves faster, choosing to continue working slowly feels meaningful.

So this Christmas, what we’re making is not a special collection or a limited release. We’re making pieces meant to last. Pieces created with the same quiet dedication as always — ready to be part of someone’s story, long after the season has passed.

With love,
