Sarah Wolf may have ditched a career in geological chemistry for ceramics, but her hand-thrown pieces still echo her love of the natural world—satiny glazed white Wolf Ceramics mugs, bowls, and vases cut with swaths of rusty raw clay and hazy bands of turquoise paint. “I love seeing what I can accomplish just with simple forms and geometric shapes,” she says. “I get a lot of satisfaction from making things people will actually use.” $30–160

Constructing a raincoat that won’t leak through at the seams is no joke. Local fashion designer Lizz Basinger, known best for her workwear dresses, began crafting her sleek, princess-seamed wonders after noticing many of the big outerwear brands put function ahead of fashion. She says of her 20-hour coat, now available in 15 colors with hood, pockets, and organic lining: “It is by far the most difficult and costly endeavor my business has taken on to date. It’s so time consuming because of all of the little details, and steps you simply can’t skip if you’re going to have a functional raincoat.” $499

Guzzle

Raise a dirty martini to Freeland Spirits, the city’s first women-owned distillery.
