Treats to beat the post-holiday blues
Start the year with art and come visit Scope Gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center's Scope Gallery to see functional and decorative clay
If the magic of Macy’s did not hit the mark or the Pajamagram was a snoozer, chat with an artist and see about acquiring creative originals in clay.
Whether reindeer got wrangled, what came down the chimney did not light your fire or there was simply no hurrah for Hannukah, continue your heirloom holiday shopping to make it a happy new year.
Hinted to Honey, but did not get presented with perfect surprise? Save the frustrated hubby from grief with handmade gifts that are functional yet decorative at the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s Scope Gallery. Find your salad set, serving platter or ring holder. Browse bowls, candleholders and cups.
Wished for a hand painted tile or centerpiece vase? Select one to perfectly accent interiors. If the mall mug doesn’t manage enough hot chocolate or does not cut it for cappuccino, find a stein of your style and size. Don’t dessert the dream for dessert plates! Get plates, a sugar creamer and a teaset, too.
Make the perfect presents you pinned appear. For those who did not find a stunning sculpture in a stocking, acquire original, hand-sculpted figural and relief works.
Santa might have seen the list, but not checked it. This is the chance to fulfill your every wish, because the second time around is sweeter, guaranteed.
