The Spine Stealers

The Spine Stealers are a Wisconsin-based folk band influenced by the Northwood pines, 24/7 truck stop diners, heartbreak and dark lakes. The duo formed around late-night bonfires in their shared hometown during the height of the pandemic where they learned guitar together and wrote songs inspired by their experiences of heartache and nostalgia.

Or·gan·ic

Sara Davis' winter 2024 ceramic collection, Or·gan·ic, is inspired by nature's perfect imperfection. Fibonacci spirals of sunflowers, spatial patterns of golden rods, and geometric aesthetics of lavender are just a few of the naturally occurring highlights that this body of work captures.

The body of each piece is hand-molded and intentionally designed to have irregular silhouettes and fluid contours.
