Local artisans

At the Chairmaker and Friends, we like to incorporate work from other local  artisans in our shop. Below are some of the talented artists, each of which contributes their own special flavor to our town, and all of the beautifully decorated homes in it.

Shore Finds is always on theme in our lakeside town!

Beagle Bay knot works

Beagle Bay creates some of the most detailed jewelry and home decor we've ever seen, simply using nautical knot tying techniques (and plenty of fun colors). Based out of Huron, Ohio, Beagle Bay Knot Works knows what's important in life - that's why they named their company after their beloved pet beagle.

Crystal Moon Designs

Based out of Rocky River, OH, Chris’s highly artistic jewelry is made from local Lake Erie beach glass. Crystal Moon Designs is an exceptional source for beautiful, unique pieces that are expertly crafted. Chris began her trade almost accidentally, simply fueled by a love for beach glass. Inspired and determined, she took her degree in textile design and sought to add more and more knowledge to go along with her talent. Studying under a silversmith in Colorado and at TAP studio in Cleveland, along with taking the time to learn the properties of metal and how that applies to silver jewelry making, Chris’s accessories are of the highest quality.

Crystal Moon Designs jewelry can be found at our shop in Vermilion, but you can see more of her ever-changing inventory on Facebook or Etsy!
