We're excited to introduce fair trade ceramic luminaires, handmade by artisans in San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua, through Women of the Cloud Forest. Each piece is hand-turned on a kick wheel and wood-fired in a traditional beehive-shaped kiln, with nature-inspired designs cut into the clay. Just place a tea light inside and watch the pattern glow!
We've also added new styles of our popular ceramic catch-all dishes — just right for coins, jewelry, or other small treasures.
Stop by and see what's new! Schmeeckle Reserve Visitor Center | 9 AM – 4 PM daily
