Jennifer Phillips, Woodworking Artisan at Dust & Details.
My sister-in-law, Jennifer Fulk, wanted to open a store in Covington. I always loved candles and tarts, always burning them at Home. My fiancé, Heath suggested candle making and to sell candles in the store. He bought me my first kit and I loved it!!! I named my candles, Sugar Bear, because that is what he calls me. I love to make my home smell warm and cozy! I love requests from customers for their favorite scents! It makes me happy to make others happy!!! It is such a great hobby!
“I am incredibly lucky to be so young and have had hard work and manual labor instilled in me, as valuable skills, by my parents. Since I can remember, I helped my parents fix the cars, fix the house, work in the yard, and most importantly, work with wood! My grandfather, tinkered in his garage and basement till he was 90 years old! I guess you can say, working with your hands, it runs in the family.
My inspiration for a piece comes from nearly anything; as an artist, at heart, I don’t like to limit my options or ideas. But, I always strive to bring back natural wood grains where I can! To me, there’s nothing more beautiful than newly refinished, revived, rejuvenated, beautiful wood grain! But, that’s not to say we don’t all need a little color in our lives! I consider myself to be more of a risk taker with my furniture selection and schematic choices. I enjoy a challenge, solving problems and taking on the unknown; life’s too short to wonder, what if? Commitment is so much more intriguing!
There’s a saying I try to live by, “when you fall, get back up, and dust yourself off”; we all have scars we bare, that tell a story of a time. If you listen closely, you’ll hear the details.”
Jamie Matchett, Creative Director of Artisan Loop.
Finding unwanted things no one wants anymore is more than a passion of mine. It is my therapy. I see hidden beauty within quality craftsmanship of abandoned treasures. I wonder what stories have been told on old rocking chairs? What family dinners were shared at the old dining table? Who searched for the perfect accent table with such intricate designs? Who might’ve worked numerous back breaking hours to buy it for someone they love? Who handcrafted it so carefully and wonderfully? It’s sad to see it thrown to the side. I want to bring it back to life and restore it so it may become appreciated once again.
The process is my therapy. There was a time when I felt so damaged I could not be loved again, this therapy gave me hope that I too may become worthy of love again. And I am. I am loved.
The Elves Helper, carpenter
I worked with my father learning many things from him about carpentry. I design, create and sell my things to help my children have the best things in life from education to after school activities.
