Adam said they’ ve intentionally grown slowly, carefully choosing each ingredient they will use, each product their hands will make, and each vendor they will invite into their store.
They opened the Nashville storefront at 76 East Main St. in April of 2023.
Throughout the little shop, signs tell customers about each artist who crafted the sustainable products before them. The majority are local.
The back of the store boasts craft tables where walk-in customers can paint their own pottery. Gracie also offers group and individual ceramics classes by appointment.
Like any business launch, Gracie said this season of their life has had its share of highs and lows. What keeps them moving forward, she said, is the joy of work that is good for the planet and good for people.
The best affirmations come when into the shop walks a customer who sought them out from Columbus, Bloomington, or Etsy, Adam said.
“ To see their faces light up because they really get what we’ re doing here is just awesome,” Gracie said.“ But even more than that, to see our kids talk with pride about the choices we make at our shop— that’ s really sweet.
“ Even on the days that feel long, we check back in with each other and know, without a doubt, that we’ re living life on purpose.” •
