The Ellery East gift shop offers thoughtfully made, one-of-a-kind and small-batch works that extend the spirit of the gallery into everyday life.

Each item is handcrafted by Terrie E. Hylton and reflects her commitment to material storytelling, reuse, and art as a form of care.

During our opening reception, visitors consistently shared how meaningful it felt to encounter work that was accessible, layered, and made with intention, something for everybody, at every scale. The gift shop continues that ethos, offering functional and wearable art alongside collectible pieces.

Rather than direct online sales, we invite inquiries so we can share availability, variations, and context for each piece.
