Set on this new path, she hustled. “I was just sort of a traveling vacuum salesman, like, ‘Hey, here's these things that I make,’ and it sort of went from there,” she says. Now, her pieces walk that fine line between formal austerity and a human warmth: “I don't like stuff that's stark — the sort of piece you got at the MoMA gift shop,” she says. “Simple, modern, warm — that’s where I want to be.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"match-strike-no-tray","title":"Stoneware Match Strike Pot","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMatch Holder with Striker | Ceramic Match Holder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-thrown in Evanston, Illinois by ceramicist Julia Finlayson, this match strike pot brings functional beauty to countertops, mantels, and bedside tables.
