MudLOVE

Few people have the privilege of having two "first day" on the job. We're so glad to have Julia back after a break. Now she's in a completely new role in a way that directly supports you, our community! Let's dive in!

Having Luke, Whitney, and Rusty from MudLOVE and BelKai here in February was amazing! There was a ton of training followed by a mountain of questions.  As professional entrepreneurs and artisans, Luke and Whitney never hesitated in their responses knowing exactly what to say drawing from their extensive personal experience with their clay and resin designs. Then they left us.

Welcome back to MudFOLK, where we get to know the people behind the mud! Today we're chatting with Ben Gruber, glaze master and fishing enthusiast. He's been at MudLOVE for several years now, and we're so thankful to have him on our team!

And would you believe, of the 15 jobs that I can quickly recall, my boss has always been a woman? I never realized it until my recent reflection. Goodness, I'm the luckiest!

"It takes a village to raise a child."This saying is an African proverb, and it's our inspiration for our online fundraiser platform. We're modeling this platform on a village. It's a community of people that care deeply for each other and their needs. We're calling it the Giving Village. 

If you've been around, you're probably familiar with our Viona bracelet. It's the perfect complement to any arm party. You might even know that every Viona is woven by a team of women in the Dominican Republic. Our partnership with Vida Plena started almost 3 years ago.
