MEET LAUREN MOLLICA

The work I create reflects my love of drawing, building and hand construction, pattern and texture and the play between positive and negative space.  There is nothing I enjoy more than time spent creating, experimenting with materials and finishes, and making with my hands.  Woodworking is the lens through which I view the world around me, anything can be a source for inspiration, and my workshop is my personal sanctuary.

Every piece I create is handmade, packaged, and shipped by me from my little home workshop in Norwalk, Connecticut.

THE ART OF JEWELRY ORGANIZATION

In 1990, in a 7th grade wood shop class, I fell in love with the scroll saw.  In that class, I invented my first wall mounted jewelry display for my mother as a gift for her birthday to showcase the beautiful jewelry she had collected over the years.

A decade later, after college, I started a career in the hedge fund industry, but  began to feel a pull toward more creative endeavors and it wasn’t long before I assembled a basement workshop and opened up an Etsy shop to start selling my designs on the side, something I continue to do while raising my two sons.
