Happy February! It's a funny month; short, winter-y, cold. The first day of February always makes me think of one of my favorite quotes from Tom Robbins: "February is pitiless, and it is boring. That parade of red numerals on its page adds up to zero: birthday of politicians, a holiday reserved for rodents; what kind of celebrations are those? The only bubble in the flat champagne of February is Valentine's Day. It was no accident that our ancestors pinned Valentine's Day on February's shirt: he or she lucky enough to have a lover in frigid, antsy February has cause...

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and we don’t believe in messing around when it comes to choosing gifts for your favorite lady.

Moms - sometimes dad and the kids need all the help they can get. There's no shame in dropping a few hints from this list! The heyday of the Hobo is still very much alive, and we are over the moon for their new summer line of handbags and wallets. The colors are...

Thursday night September 11 we will host two makers from very different disciplines. Shelli Markee, the artist whose wire birds soar up the walls at Click!, will flesh out the space with more flora and fauna sculptures in wire.

They are instantly recognizable despite their minimalism. The inspiration she finds in...

We're really lucky that Karen likes visiting Seattle. We get to see what's fresh off her jeweler's bench! Check this bi-metal ring.

Karen is also bringing earrings, necklaces and bracelets from a several collections that haven't been shown at Click! before. So put Saturday May 3rd from 11am to 5pm on your calendar and come to Click! and lay your eyes on ground breaking contemporary jewelry design by Karen Konzuk.

This Thursday's Art Walk captures two artists in the midst of their evolutions: jeweler Frances Smersh is painting, and blacksmith Erica Gordon is making jewelry. You know Erica Gordon from her belt buckles: forged, welded, and fabricated in her Georgetown studio. She's taken her same bold aesthetic and scaled it down to jewelry: wearable, sexy, and strong.   Our own Frances Smersh continues to explore shapes and forms, not in metal but acrylic and mixed media. Think of it as jewelry for your walls. Don't worry, we'll still have plenty of Frances's jewelry and Erica's belt buckles! West Seattle Art...
