Examples of this type of utilitarian/handcrafted artwork includes furniture, vases, cups, dishes, lighting, timepieces, and even garden sculpture. All media accepted, including but not limited to 2-D paintings and drawings, 3-D pieces, wood, leather, textiles, ceramics, metal, fiber, glass, and clay.
