Hi, my name is Cathy Hartt. Notes from the Hartt is where I share studio updates, new work, and occasional behind-the-scenes looks at what I’m making — including shop updates for my Country Flair booth, Etsy, and GoImagine.
Some notes are brief, some are longer, and new posts are added when there’s something to share.

Art from the Hartt is a small, part-time studio focused on handmade cement planters and gnomes, along with hypertufa pots, fluid art, tile work, and wood earrings. Work is made in small batches and shared at a slower, intentional pace.

Below are recent Notes from the Hartt, including shop updates and small batch releases.
