You may not know Emily, but if you’ve been to our roastery and café this month, you’ve certainly seen her creations. Sock monkeys have made a huge comeback in popular culture in the last few years and Emily’s are fine handmade specimens.
In Emily’s own words:
“I am a college freshman spending any free moment I get crafting and exploring the world of art. I have always been fascinated with repurposing and up-cycling old or seemingly useless materials. My favorite materials to work with are socks, buttons, ribbons, and a variety of odd paper scraps and stamps. I am inspired by textures and nature, and never cease to be stirred by the variations in creation. From my art sales I am donating 50% of my profits directly to missions work in Myanmar.”
Swing in before the end of the month to see her work in person and perhaps take a monkey home with you!
