Julie Terestman (Ceramics) Julie is my oldest and dearest friend. We met in 1980 when we were both attending Boston University and from there have forged a life long kinship. Much of my aesthetic being has been developed with the help of Julie and her work. She is a unique, pure, incredibly talented individual.

Nature Contained (Floral and Garden Design) Award winning floral and garden designer Roanne Robbins runs a beautiful store across from our shop down in Tiverton Four Corners, RI. She has one of the most impeccable eyes for container gardening that you will ever discover. Roanne doesn’t just place plants together but creates a living sculpture, designed to shift one’s aesthetic experience as it grows.

Milk and Honey Bazaar Our next door neighbors down in the Four Corners, Tom and Jen’s cheese shop is the best one we’ve been in since we moved from NY. It get’s us in a lot of trouble! The decisions, Piave or Double Gloucester with chive and onion, I usually just get both.

Red Beet Studio (Web/Graphic Design) Peter Nassoit is responsible for keeping this website running on a daily basis, for that we are extremely grateful. Not only is he great at the technological mechanics of website he has a great eye for the design aspects as well.

Beehive Kitchenware Our studio mates and good friends; we have adjacent studios in one of the old brick mills in Fall River looking out over the Taunton River just as it heads into Mt. Hope Bay. Jim and Sandi have a very successful line of hand cast pewter kitchenware and gifts.

Alyn Carlson Graphic Design and Fine Artist- The design of this website and our logo is due to the incredible talent of Alyn but it doesn’t stop there, she is also a fine artist, actor, chicken farmer, writer among other things. We have had a couple of very successful exhibitions of her paintings in our gallery at the Roseberry-Winn Store.

Hilary Law Hand painted Canvas Bags- Our good friend Hilary paints fun but complex patterns on canvas yardage then sews them in to many styles of bags, floor cloths and other items, all are from her original designs.

Tiffany Peay Tiffany was first a renowned jeweler, then a good friend and now a neighbor since she moved her studio and showroom down to Tiverton Four Corners across the street form our shop.

Emily Rosenfeld Emily has a fun line of hand cast pewter jewelry and gifts along with a special line of Judaica. She lives the idyllic life out in Western Massachusetts surrounded by trees, streams, and mountains.

Serena Kojimoto I see Serena’s jewelry as three dimensional drawings floating in air. They possess a beautiful sense of balance between positive and negative space. It is made primarily of sterling silver or gold combined with gemstones, neoprene, pearls, rubber, and found objects.

Green Tree Our friends Jen and Don Green make a beautiful collection of handmade furniture and other accessories for the home; such as candles, frames and boxes. Don’s skill in mixing together different woods is not only technically superb but aesthetically stunning.

Chris Gustin Chris and I go way back, he was my undergraduate professor at Boston University’s Program in Artisanry (now part of UMASS / Dartmouth.) in 1980. Chris has had a distinguished career in ceramics both through teaching and his sculptural vessels.

Jenna Goldberg Jenna is also in our studio building where she builds beautiful furniture which has painted and carved patterns across the surface. She creates truly stunning forms with equally stunning surfaces.
