E.Lo Ceramic Art is design and creation of clean modern functional forms by artist Emily LoPresto. Emily has been working with clay for more than half her life, her current work is functional slip cast ceramic objects for every day use. With an emphasis on the process of mold making the work starts as lines and shapes in 3D modeling software. Emily uses modern technology as an aid in creating prototypes that are used to make plaster molds. Using colored porcelain each piece is cast in a mold and finished by hand. The functionally of the work is what drives the design and the idea of use is what drives the maker.

This beautiful blue & white Batik design has a slight African flair no doubt coming from the artisans who hand make and hand paint this collection at Kapula, a member of the World Fair Trade Organization.

Each piece is dishwasher and microwave safe. Any piece makes a great hostess gift, or gift yourself the whole collection - remember fair trade gifts keep on giving!

Kapula ceramics are individually hand crafted and hand painted -- which is what makes these ceramics so special. Please be aware that the pattern on the ceramic may appear slightly different from the website photos, but will be consistent with the theme of the design.

Thumbprint Artifacts was conceived in 2012 by two life-long friends, Becky Riess and Kris Engle. These creative Michiganders wanted to recognize entrepreneurial spirit by supporting fairly traded artisan companies in areas of the world greatly affected by unemployment. This support translates into empowerment and self-sufficiency that helps the artisans care for themselves, their families, and contribute to their communities. With Kris based in South Africa and Becky based in Michigan, they created their 'cycle of success' by purchasing directly from the artisans and sharing their crafts with galleries and fine boutiques across the world. Each item sold positively impacts employment security and growth to build sustainable and profitable businesses. Most of the artisans are women, primarily single mothers, who all take great pride in their work. Considering the extended families that each artisan supports, Thumbprint Artifacts is currently touching the lives of 500+ people. 

Thumbprint Artifacts is a Proud Member of the Fair Trade Federation - a trade association of fair trade enterprises fully committed to equitable and sustainable trading partnerships. They strengthen and support members in order to grow the global movement of trade that values the health of the planet, and the labor, dignity, and equality of all people.
