Bringing Art to the Table: Nature-Inspired Textiles at Dishfunctional

Alfred is proud to support a local artist who brings authenticity and beauty to everyday living. One that stands out and is near and dear to his heart💖. In our shop you will find the the work of Nancy Rasch Salamon, the creative force and owner of Clay Born Pottery & Textile based in West Chester, PA. Nancy, who happens to be Alfred’s sister (yes, Alfred- the creator of Dishfunctional and our vintage treasures aficionado), has crafted a line that blends her love of nature and art into beautiful, functional pieces.

Nancy’s original artwork is the soul of her textiles. Her designs, inspired by nature and aquatic themes, are carefully hand-painted before being transformed into textiles like pillows, table runners, placemats, napkins, and pot holders. Each piece captures the peaceful beauty of the outdoors with flowing scenes and botanical accents, making every item feel like a piece of art you can actually use and enjoy in your daily life.

Along with her textiles, Nancy creates pottery pieces that reflect the same sense of natural grace and artistry. Whether you’re redecorating your dining space or searching for the perfect gift, her collection brings a thoughtful, handcrafted touch to any home.

Next time you visit DishFunctional, take a moment to explore Nancy’s work- you’ll immediately appreciate the quality, artistry, and heart woven into every stitch and brushstroke.
