How would you describe your work?

“I am trying to make work that has meaning and spirit, I want it to feel joyful, I want it to feel deep, I want you to be able to make your own meaning.”

Tell us more about your work!

“I make it using silver charms and pewter spiritual items like traveler’s prayer holders and prayer wheels. I’ve also been working in gold! I have always loved the warmth of gold, I feel like it really holds a person’s warmth, their energy, their life. It’s been really exciting and I’m getting asked more and more to show pieces in gold. I find it’s what I’m wearing more! And I’m excited that Pinch is responding and making my audience for gold bigger.”

You’ve been selling your work at Pinch for over 15 years, do you have any sweet memories?

“Jena has always really given space for new things I’m working on and such encouragement, and I feel like everyone who works at Pinch really understands what I’m doing, like in terms of having the charms be stories that can be told. It’s been a wonderful fit! It’s wonderful to have my work in a store in my home town- a lot of the customers are people that I know, or friends of friends and it just makes the community feel like it keeps growing, and supporting, and I love it!”

May 10, 2024 Arts Night Out with Karen Novak

Pinch is proud to announce our new Premiering Potters series in conjunction with Northampton's monthly Arts Night Out. This series will showcase the work of budding local potters – such as students, apprentices, home potters, and even long-time potters who haven't shown their work much before. Arts Night Out is the second Friday of each month from 5-8 pm at galleries and shops across town.

We’re kicking it off in May with local pottery student and longtime artist: Karen Novak. Karen’s work is hand built with a focus on minimalist functional and sculptural pieces with clean, sleek glazes. Karen will be with us on May 10^th from 5-8pm for a reception and her work will be on display through May 12^th. Join us!

These cotton, easy-to-care-for sweaters had been designed by Margaret "Peggy" Winters for decades until a couple of years ago when Peggy passed away. They were sold in over 400 boutiques at one time. With fun colors, interestingly-placed pockets, and often reversible front to back, they've been a Pinch favorite for the last 18 years. Since Peggy's death, the line has been carried on, but unfortunately this is the last year for them. To all the fans out there, we hope you can get one before they're gone: These three styles are it!
