ALMAPOLAS
ALMAPOLAS project is primarily focused on ceramic sculptures, tiles, and functional pieces inspired by the simplicity of what is real and human. Through my creations, I aim to remind us that we are no more than another superorganism on Earth and to convey the beauty of experiencing life through our humanity. Every piece is carefully handcrafted, making it one of a kind.

Bella Luna Soapery
Bella Luna Soapery (named after my sweet fur baby Luna) was founded on the idea of making high quality bath, body, and home products scented with essential oils. I take the guess work out of finding ingredients that are as natural as possible for you as all my products are made with as natural as possible ingredients and scents. I am a local woman owned business (I live and operate out of Bellevue KY) and look forward to the opportunity to serve the Clifton community by participating in CliftonFest this year.
Blue Creek Tinworks
Alex is a tintype photography artist bringing back the process from the mid 1800’s, using everything from a camera built in 1880 and a traveling darkroom to develop photos on the spot. Just like in the 1800’s photos are taken on either glass or metal plates and created with the use of natural light and the original chemicals such as collodion, silver nitrate, etc. Alex’s great grandfather Leon Lippert was a well known portrait artist in Cincinnati who still has works in the Cincinnati Art Museum today. Her rich family history and passion for portrait work in tandem with nature inspires all of her work today.
Braided
I am a fiber artist! I went to art school (AAC) and started off doing fashion illustration but eventually found a passion for making and designing my own wearable pieces. Everything I make is hand made and crocheted by me. I started my small business 5 years ago, and my main place for selling my work is at Findlay Market on the weekends during the out door market.
ByNiki
My name is Niki Day. I have been creating since I was a small child with cardboard and cotton balls. Now, I create items a little more involved, namely bath products and wood crafts. Everything I sell is handmade in my home studio with natural products and careful consideration. I started making bath products for my son who had eczema, and my passion stemmed from there.
Candy’s Nuts, LLC
I make roasted nuts by adding spices and baking them. I started with pecans I had made for about 35 years, someone then ask for almonds. I made a recipe for almonds and cashews also. I make a great smoky garlic almond which is sugar free, and a couple new recipes I am working on. I have a commercial kitchen in Falmouth KY and am fully licensed.
Casey Miller Photography
My work explores the intersection of the ordinary and the surreal. Through portraiture and editing techniques, the images capture moments that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination. With a keen eye for the unexpected, each photograph tells a story, transforming often mundane looks and settings into captivating visual experiences. Whether through dramatic lighting, vibrant manipulation of colors, or transformative editing the work invites viewers to find beauty in the bizarre and the overlooked. My process embraces a sense of curiosity and imagination. Encouraging exploration of what magic can be added to the external world and what internal emotions can look like. This body of work celebrates individuality and imagination, turning the familiar into something entirely new and strange.
Clifton Rec Potters
The Clifton Rec Potters are a collaborative group of ceramicists who all take classes at the CRC in Clifton. Our studio is a creative space where artists of all skill levels come together to explore the transformative process of working with clay. At the Clifton CRC Pottery Studio, we believe that pottery is more than just making beautiful objects—it’s about trying new things, embracing creativity, and fostering a sense of community.
cw3art
We are lifelong Cincinnati artists. Colleen’s abstract oil on raw oak panels are inspired by geometric patterns found in the natural and fabricated world. Many thin layers of paint create a transparent and illusory depth on the wood surface. Clinton’s land and cityscapes are drawn from years of observation and memory as a delivery driver around the city and surrounds. He also paints with oil on wood, using rich color with a Precisionist approach.
Dani Dreams of Glass LLC
I’m Dani, a chemistry professor and glass artist in Cincinnati, OH, dreaming up unique and affordable creations in fused glass jewelry, ornaments, stand-up statues, and functional art bowls/dishes for entertaining and everyday use. All items are hand-crafted by me from “scratch” – I produce the pieces from sheets of glass in my home studio. My fusing journey began over 12 years ago at a social event at a local glass studio. I’ve always been “crafty” – sewing, knitting, crocheting and such – so glass became another medium for me to explore creative ideas. My background in chemistry has helped my understanding of how glass behaves and the possible reactions of colors to provide some surprising results. I love teaching and incorporating science into my art. My pieces contain elements of classic quilts, Fibonacci sequences, Einstein shapes, and more. And nothing goes to waste – leftovers from larger projects are recycled into smaller pieces like “scrap” hearts, abstract jewelry & dishes, and accompanying pieces for large dishes. For me, my art is at its best when it can be both visually pleasing and functional. I think a beautiful dish makes food taste even better and beautiful jewelry makes every outfit special. I want my art to help people have a beautiful day every day.
DeadRich Streetwear
At Dead Rich, we don’t follow trends in fact we do the exact opposite by setting them. Curated for the ones who live and breathe the hustle — those who know the grind, push boundaries, and live with purpose. Every piece we create is more than just fashion—it’s a statement.
Small Batch. One-of-One.
We refrain from mass production to highlight the exclusivity and quality of each specific garment. Utilizing the process of ‘upcycling’ we often times thrift materials and repurpose them giving them a new life while simultaneously helping the environment.
Fiber Fabric Designs by Therese
I am a fiber Artist born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. Received a B.F.A. with concentration in Fiber Fabric Design, at the College of Mount St. Joseph. I am inspired by God’s incredible creation. As a fiber artist , it is my desire to express the beauty of all creation through the use of color, texture and design. I primarily use the technique of wet felting to create a variety of landscapes, florals and abstracts . Next, I hand stitch (embroidery) and embellish with handmade beads made of polymer clay. The finished fiber art is displayed on a canvas finished with artisan handmade paper and is ready for display. Creating fiber art is my passion. My heartfelt desire is to express the beauty in all of God’s creation.
Glazed & Confused Creations
I began my artistic journey in 2009 by attending Columbus College of Art & Design, where I earned my BFA in Fine Art with a focus in ceramics and small scale metals. In the years following graduation I taught art, restored art, and served in the non-profit arts sector as a grant maker, but always had a desire to create full-time. In 2021 I decided to take a chance on myself, formed Glazed & Confused Creations, and began to pursue my craft as a full-time career.
Having been born and raised in Florida, my work is heavily influenced by the colors of the island and Caribbean, while my designs are inspired by the Art Deco architecture I came to love after moving to the Midwest.
Jen Williams Jewelry
I’m Jennifer Williams, a mostly self taught metalsmith., thanks to many YouTube tutorials. Ive tried many styles of jewelry making but knew that working with silver and gemstones was my calling. My work is somewhat organic with an earthy vibe. I use sterling, fine and argentium silver and unique gemstones from all over the world.
Jessica Roach Design
As a graphic designer who unintentionally fell into the architecture industry, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation of the built world around me in the last few years. That interest crept into my art as well, through the depiction of buildings and architectural details which I’m drawn to—Dutch, gothic, and Tudor styles, often. I also enjoy an expressive little vegetable, beetle, and flower series here and there.
Linoprinting, as my artistic medium of choice, has allowed this graphic designer to get off the computer and enjoy the tactile nature of carving and printing. The process has become a meditation, forcing me to slow down and truly appreciate the intricate details that draw me to a certain flower, building, or creature that I may have not previously noticed.
Keyasha’s Creations LLC
I create handcrafted dessert candles that transform everyday moments into sensory escapes. Each piece is a delicate work of art, meticulously made from premium wax and wooden wicks, designed to evoke the nostalgic sweetness of childhood treats. My inspiration comes from the comforting warmth of cherished memories and the joy of indulgence, infusing each candle with a story and a promise of serenity. I begin my creative process with an exploration of colors, textures, and aromas—experimenting with unique fragrance blends that not only please the eye but also uplift the spirit. Through my work, I invite others to pause, savor life’s simple pleasures, and rediscover the beauty in moments of quiet self-care.
Knebel’s Flower Farm

M&B Ceramics
We are a couple who fell in love with ceramic art while taking classes a few years back. In fact, we loved creating art through clay so much that we built a home studio to keep working with the medium. Above all, we find joy in the art of working with clay, it is such a beautiful tool for self-exploration and self-expression. It is also a tool for connection, within our marriage and with the people in our communities. It is our dream to share our art and hope it brings the same kind of joy to others!
Mitch loves making functional art. He enjoys throwing on the wheel using various clay bodies, and he most loves making drinkware. We love our local breweries and coffee shops; so often Mitch is inspired to create vessels made to celebrate and honor the local flavors we enjoy. These spaces are important hubs of connection and creativity that often inspire us.
Becca predominately hand builds with porcelain clay. She loves making jewelry and whimsical little creatures, as well as personal and socially impactful pieces of art. She wants the things she makes to affirm and celebrate people. She especially enjoys centering fat bodies, queer identities, and social justice-oriented narratives in her art, as these uplift communities deserving of celebration and focus.

As a Fiber Artist, I love to surround myself in colorful fabrics and yarns. The fabrics I use are colorful, whimsical, vintage, retro, unique, etc. And they always contain some pattern. I refuse to sew with plain fabrics! And the yarns I use are also very colorful. I especially look for hand dyed yarns that have lots of colors and especially speckles! I design all my own items and only sew or knit designs that I love. I do my sewing in the mornings when I have the energy to stand and do lots of cutting and ironing, and in the afternoons I sit and relax in a comfy chair and knit. Fiber Art is my PASSION! (And my therapy!)

Mim and Moxie Shop LLC
Studied Fine arts with an emphasis on ceramic sculpture. Creating has always been a huge part of daily life whether it be in preparing food, messing around or making gifts. I explore many mediums making unique, and functional adornments for both home and self. My makings are fueled by interests in science, the absurd, humor, color, artistic ingenuity and the need to be creative.
Muffle, Ripple, & Frit
Using a mixture of vintage and modern glass, I create Tiffany-style copper foil stained glass art and then incorporate fine woodworking techniques to highlight pieces through framing, building into furniture, etc. I have been creating stained glass art for more than 10 years and draw inspiration from nature and the beauty of the world.
NC Arts
I’m a fiber and multi-media artist who’s found therapy in the process of making things from strings. I love designing and choosing the color ways for my size inclusive hexicardigans. As well as other stylish crochet tops and purses. I keep a cohesive cottagecore and cozy style at my booth by including quaint amigurumi and whimsical illustrations.
Painting Fingers
I am inspired by the beauty of nature. I began my artistic journey by creating nature prints and greetings painted with flowers. Since January 2025 I have started painting these on stoles.
I see these textiles as artworks in terms of the care and creativity I invest. Each stole that I paint is related to things I have seen or experienced. These elements flow organically into the textiles I paint through varied colors and designs. For example, the stole titled “When the sea met the land” is inspired by my visit to California. Similarly, my toddler and I often visit Dunnore Park. The stole titled “Impressions of Dusk” is inspired by the sky I witnessed there. The stole “Magnolia Magic” is my ode to the beautiful magnolia tree there. Ultimately, I aim to create unique pieces that celebrate the individuality of each person.
Pineworkshop LLC
I started caving in 2010 after graduating with my BFA in Sculpture. Wood carving became more then a hobby after graduating with my MA in Theater Arts in 2013. I picked up this as a hobby after spending years watching my grandfather design and produce wood carvings and fell in love with it.
Each carving is designed, carved and painted in my shop in Ohio. I use wood scraps from various places to make the carving, but primarily use Pine, Basswood and Poplar, but will use any type of lumber I can get my hands on. I like to use as much scrap wood and found materials as I can.
Poe Pottery
Poe Pottery was created in 2016 by Brooklynn Poe-Miller after graduating from The University of Kentucky with a BFA. Each piece holds years of wheel throwing experience and a one of a kind composition. All pieces are fired twice in a electric kiln and covered in a glossy glaze for full functionality and everyday use. The bright drippy glazes contrast the warm toasty clay body giving visual and physical texture. Brooklynn’s goal is to create functional art in everyday objects. Our food, morning coffee or even a simple desk plant deserve a moment in time. Poe Pottery is 100% hand made using clay from the earth, pressure from her hands, and vitrified in heat creating works of art that will last a lifetime.
Pot Head Pottery
Nicole Reblando is a Cincinnati artist creating whimsical miniature sculptures for air plants and jug face mugs and shot glasses. She uses both handbuilding and wheel to create pieces. Nicole also makes vases that are replica of elements found in nature drift wood and tree trunks, and hanging vases. The layering of glazes, adding sgraffito texture to the clay, and appliques adds to the dramatic effect of each of the pieces.
Plus each piece that Nicole makes is created to spark joy and put a smile on your face.
Rebecca Hammond
I am a self-taught acrylic landscape artist. I have a true love of nature and find a deep peace when I surround myself with it. I find inspiration in the raw beauty of our Earth and hope that my art helps others find that same deep peace. Life can be hectic. We forget to look around sometimes and just take a breath and soak in the beautiful scenery right beneath our noses.
Tamara Tilburgs
Tamara Tilburgs is a Cincinnati (Clifton) based Dutch artist and scientist. She is an abstract painter and ceramicist. While she has painted most of her live, she started ceramics in 2020. She combines wheel and hand build clay techniques to create functional ceramics that are characterized by dynamic textures and vibrant colors.
Tamara is also Assistant Professor at Cincinnati Children’s hospital where she studies how placental infection and inflammation during pregnancy contributes to pregnancy complications.
Tarah Trueblood Art
I describe my painting style as abstract. My process is oriented around a philosophy of presence where the marks, shapes, and passages of color push, pull, and resolve in a balance of harmony and dissonance. Compositions are nuanced through a dialogue among the voices of each mark and brush stroke. Intuitive decisions are made during this dialogue as new perspectives and possibilities present themselves. The sense of order, in whatever form it takes, is an expression of my connection with the aliveness of the world around me and thus with a great consciousness. To borrow from Mark Rothko, I want people to look at my art, and, as they turn to walk away, continue to feel its emotion.
That Dam Jam
That Dam Jam is a woman owned producer of Ohio Proud pineapple pepper jams ranging from sweet to hot! Their unique and versatile jams use peppers grown by Ohio farmers and harvested at peak freshness! They make four flavors ranging from all sweet, no heat to spicy pineapple ghost pepper!
The Fresh Pot LLC
Hand crafted cooking sauce that enhances every meal! Great for cooking, dipping, & marinating.

They love we received for our sauce on the local level, pushed us to new heights and brought us to where we are today. We not only offer our sauces we do catering, private chef, and sell sauces online.
Whimsical Whittling
I began carving by watching videos during Covid. I am calmed by the sound of the knife chipping out bits of wood. I never really know what the carving will look like until it is done. I try to give my carving an impish personality. I use bright watered down acrylic paints and a bees wax coating. I am currently focusing on relief carving classes to expand my capabilities.
Wild Berries Press LLC
I’ve always had a fascination with plants, animals, ecosystems, microcosmos, and the ethereal beauty the creatures of our world encapsulate. These come to life in my work through drawing the fine hair of an opossum, printing the impressions of actual hair and feathers, and using vibrant tropical colors in my plant sculptures. I bring to light in my art things that might be overlooked, by emphasizing fine detail and bringing beauty to gruesome imagery. Whether I’m memorializing the death of a neighborhood species, or enlarging the microscopic inner workings of a leaf into vibrant, sculptural blooms, the natural world and all its cycles will continue to play an integral role in my work. I want my audience to take a moment to view these pieces, hopefully gaining a new perspective on the “mundane” ecosystems of their backyards, seeing the small and subtle beauty of the world around us.
Worms 4 Brunch
We are a collective of four Cincinnati artists specializing in screen printing, illustration, fiber arts, sculpting and painting. We travel to shows to sell our art at art fairs, festivals, and conventions. Our goal is to collaborate to a gayer future!
Yumiko Pottery
I’m Yumiko, a ceramic artist working from my home studio in Northern Kentucky. My pottery is a reflection of my mixed Japanese heritage, a blend of cultural influences shaped by my diverse upbringing. While maintaining a full-time tech career, I recently left a Masters program at Georgia Tech to dedicate more time to the art of ceramics. My pieces feature traditional Japanese figures and embrace the wabi-sabi philosophy, celebrating the beauty of hand-made creations. My goal is to bring a sense of peace and harmony into your home through functional, thoughtfully crafted pottery.
Zanna Ferree
“My scratchboard artworks are inspired by a love of old photographs, mysterious situations, mischievous animals, and ghost stories—all fueled by a lifelong devotion to drawing. I blend original, altered, and imagined imagery to create compositions that evoke paradoxical emotions. The subjects in my work invite the viewer to empathize, question, or even laugh at the unexpected narratives unfolding before them.”
Zanna Ferree is a high school art teacher at Taylor High School in Cleves, Ohio. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling in the U.S. and abroad, watching old movies, spending time with her cats, and co-hosting local trivia nights with her husband—preferably with a good tequila in hand.
