Why EdgewoodGoods?

Edgewood Goods began so that my two habits, making and buying, could feed each other. Working in my home studio on Edgewood Ave helps me stay hopeful and present, so I create whenever I can.

When I’m not arting I teach elementary aged gifted kids. There hasn’t been a book craved, science experiment supply needed, or perfect costume desired that I haven’t bought right away for my students. Being responsive to their immediate interests and curiosities provides some of the magic in my classroom.

Now, I’m making these habits work for each other by creating an Etsy shop. Any profit will be put towards more classroom magic. Follow the Edgewood Goods blog to see how students directly benefit from your purchase.

Visit Salt Creek Pottery!

Salt Creek Pottery is a fantastic shop and studio in Villa Park, and its where I have learned to throw on the wheel. Robert, artist and and instructor, offers wheel throwing classes over eight week sessions, and interesting one day workshops. All classes and workshops are offered at convenient times, He also sells his creations which are the perfect gifts. I’ve been a student of Robert’s for the past year, and while my pieces are not perfect, he’s helped me learn to embrace the imperfection. Isn’t that something we could all use a hand with? Here is a link to his site.
