The Atelier

Companion crafts to the apothecary.

Beyond balms and tinctures there is a quieter shelf — pipes carved from fallen olive, pressed flower frames, talismans, kitchen spoons, ceramic cups for morning tea. Slow, one-of-a-kind objects made by the same hands that tend the garden.

Wooden Pipes

Hand-carved from fallen olive, cherry, and fruitwood. Each pipe is one of a kind — sanded slow, oiled with beeswax, cured by the hearth.

4 pieces

Pressed Flower Frames

Garden blooms and wild gatherings, pressed slowly between linen and weighted books, then set in oak frames with hand-blown glass.

4 pieces

Talismans & Necklaces

Small wearable pieces — bone, brass, river stone, and amulets strung on waxed linen. Quiet talismans to keep close to the skin.

4 pieces

Wood-Carved Kitchenware

Spoons, spatulas, and serving boards carved by hand from fallen and reclaimed wood, oiled with linseed and food-safe beeswax.

6 pieces

Sculptures

Small standing pieces in wood, clay, and stone — quiet objects for an altar, a windowsill, or a writing table.

4 pieces

Ceramics

Cups, bowls, and small vessels thrown and pinched by hand. Earth-toned glazes, soft rims, made to hold tea and quiet hours.

6 pieces
