It’s humbling, really.
For me, (Leah here!) it started in 2018 by having lunch with Anna Edwards. I had been dreaming of spending my weekdays throwing and hand building pottery and Anna had a space in Dustmade she believed perfect for a pottery studio. Within the month, I was working, creating and loving life at Dustmade! A constant flow of dreams, ideas and creating happened over the next 7 years and in the summer of 2022 Anna and I switched places. I became the owner of Dustmade and she became a stay at home mom (stealing moments in her studio when she can!). It often feels like a dream that Dustmade is my job and business!
Dustmade showcases handmade jewelry, fresh blooms, hand-thrown ceramics, and a curated section of intentionally-made home goods and gifts. I get to come to work everyday with the dream team and dance in creativity and design.
Dustmade is our daily reminder that we are but dust. We are literally made of dust and to dust we will return. But, man! When we are walking in our passions and giftings, that dust comes alive and we get to live life to the absolute full. We, at Dustmade, seek to refresh, equip, and inspire YOU to be who you were created to be and do what you were created to do. Life is sweeter when we trust in the fullness of it.
