Karen’s latest designs are inspired by biology, the classification of animals as subjects, and of course her guinea pig Juliet.

Sarah Levine- Marketing & Publicity Coordinator- Handmade dog and cat toys

I was first inspired to create pet toys by my cat who demanded the highest quality catnip and original design. My inspirations include vintage fabric, 1940s illustration, and my goofy dachshund. Take a peek at my new etsy store: CityMouseDC.etsy.com

Chris Mills- Website Manager- Screened kid’s tees

Chris says his influences are “waking up earlier than I want to, wood chips under my feet, soft foods, swing sets and communist propaganda posters”. Check out Chris’ design work

Gretchen Schermerhorn- Director of Pyramid’s Papermill and Print Studio & Outreach Coordinator, is selling a selection of handmade blank books ranging from 3″ x 4″ to 6″ x 9″.

Gretchen explains that this series was inspired by pattern created through repeated line and color.
