Welcome to Glaze & Stitch!

Handmade goods for your inner child made in Portland, Oregon!

I’ve always claimed to be the most uncreative person in the room. But it’s amazing what freeing up time and energy can do for one’s creative side.

In the early days of the pandemic, thanks to a Buzzfeed article about what new hobbies you should try instead of doom scrolling, I ordered a simple embroidery kit from Amazon. I immediately fell in love with the repetitive, detailed process, even down to the sound and feel of the needle and thread pulling through the fabric.

Because I’m an overachiever who can’t be happy with just one hobby, I dove into a pottery class in a very chaotic late-2020 world (when masked, socially distanced activities were able to happen again… I desperately needed to be around people). I had attempted pottery once a few years earlier and did not love how challenging it was. This time around, I fell in love with the mess and imperfections.

Project manager by day and creative by night - After a couple years of unrestrained creating, I ran out of room to store my creations and people to gift them to. So after much encouragement, I began selling my creations in May 2022 as Glaze & Stitch (how millennial of me…)

Glaze & Stitch believes in joy, playfulness, and community. I hope that my joy and playfulness in creating shines through in the items you find here! Because community is so important to me, I also donate a percentage of my sales to give back to important causes.

Thanks for stopping by to learn more about Glaze & Stitch - follow along on social media to stay up to date with in-person events, donation selections and totals, new products, and more!
