Pinch is a vibrant, eclectic artisan gallery with a focus on art for the home and art to wear. Founded in 1980 by three potters, Pinch has a long history as a showcase for well-known and emerging ceramic artists. Jena Sujat, who purchased Pinch in 2006, brings her eye for the interesting, unique and beautiful to Pinch's tradition for showing handmade work. With new ceramics, jewelry, home decor and accessories arriving each week, Pinch is always changing and always fresh. As a small business owner, Jena fulfills her goal of doing what she loves for a living. That same goal fits into her philosophy for Pinch. That is, supporting others - artists, craftspeople, as well as the friends who do Pinch's graphic design, web design and visual merchandising - to make a life doing what they love. Jena truly enjoys the relationships she has with the artists, staff and customers who enter Pinch, and anyone who interacts with Pinch will immediately feel her friendliness, helpfulness and enthusiasm.
