Vendor Spotlight: Allison Fretheim Ceramics

Allison Fretheim describes her work as "functional" and "super rad," and we have to agree. Her wheelthrown and handbuilt ceramics, including mugs, planters, bowls, and more, are a refreshing, unique and ultra adorable spin on a classic artform. We're pleased to have her as a first year vendor at the 2016 Pear Fair!
