Sometimes, the most beautiful things are being made quietly in someone's home studio. We had the privilege to visit with Heather Horst of Earth Held Ceramics. Watching clay take shape in her hands felt a little like an invitation to slow down and reflect with a new friend. Her pieces, made for everyday life, show both her connection to the earth and to the well-being of others. If you love supporting local makers, shop via her website and follow her for news about markets she'll be at. You might just find a new favorite mug - and a new neighbor to cheer on.
