Pinch houses over 100 artists and vendors at any given time. Some of our artists have been with us for a very long time, and those relationships we value very highly. Donna Mcgee, for example, has been selling her one-of-a-kind pieces with us since 1982!
We are also committed to finding and showcasing new talent. In order to keep the shop fresh and exciting, each season we bring in new potters, jewelers, and artisans — ones that we appreciate and think our community will be drawn to.
While we have many, many local artists in the store, our emphasis is on hand-made and high quality products. So, we find artists all over! We find them at trade shows, by stopping in to fun shops and getting inspiration, by asking people where they got items we see and love, at our friends’ houses, on vacations, on dinner-dates, on every day of the week we find new artists – local and otherwise – that put their souls into their work and that we are so very proud to showcase.
"It is our goal that the deep respect and appreciation we hold for each other, our artists, and our community come through in the energy of our store and all of our interactions." (sourced from pinchgoods.com)
