Park Bench Creations​
​
Slab-built and sculpted Stoneware Ceramics... and other things.
​Based in Edwardsville, IL


We now have a growing selection of crystal & semi-precious stone jewelry,
​AND ALSO journals, assorted irreverent stickers, and original black&white photos! 

**Please Note: Not all products will be available at all scheduled events.
Some events require entry with only one medium (ceramics or photography),
and further, some will feature only our more artistic pieces.

(event details to follow) 





*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

What started as a fun add-on for our local events with Santatown Press,
has turned into a whole separate venture for us!
