Joy-fueled Ceramics for a Joy-filled Life

Drawing inspiration from the serene hues and organic patterns she observes in her surrounding landscape, Cherie Giampietro thoughtfully applies a touch of nature's palette to every piece she creates. She is the artist and maker behind Ceramic Design by Cherie, a collection of handcrafted, original ceramics, that showcases her distinctive earth tones and inviting textures, all lovingly designed to bring warmth and beauty to daily life.

    Twice Sold Tales at 155 Main Street — mugs, cups, pendants, vases, and heart ornaments.
