1. Ataraxy Farm
After returning from Bosnia, Blair was diagnosed with service-related PTSD. Kim left her career, helped to initiate their therapy farm and is now on a journey to help many others by opening their farm to the public. Each goats milk soap is crafted as a symbol of mental health awareness, made with love and compassion. With bars for face, body, shaving and shampoo, goat’s milk products provide many benefits to both skin and hair.

4. Seastar Pottery
I make functional pottery inspired by the sea. Much of my work reflects seascapes, wave movement and sometimes images of sea creatures. I like to use a lot of blues in my glazing but sometimes like to play with some brighter colours like purple and pinks. I make platters, mugs, tumblers, vases, yarn bowls, salad and soup bowls, shot glasses and more. My most recent work is inspired by the fog we get here in our community, white and grey with a soft wavy texture.
