Not a real cult, just two friends.

Hi, I'm Aki! I'm a ceramic artist based in Boston, MA who graduated in 2024 from VCUarts with my BFA in craft/material studies. Making miniature and cute items has been a skill I've cultivated since childhood. Growing up with artists in my family, I had an idea of what I thought "professional art" was supposed to be. Over time I realized the silly, sweet, and bright work I had been creating was professional art all along. I hope you can find joy in our world of treasures!

Hi, I'm Fish! I'm a craft artist and printmaker based in Boston, Massachusetts. I recently completed a BFA in Craft / Material Studies at VCU. My work combines screen print with quilting and ceramics to create comforting illustrative pieces that are earnest, sentimental, and joyful. I enjoy bright colors, little critters, and textured pieces.

I hope my work gives you a little piece of comfort to carry with you!
