There are several new shopping experiences at WMODA to benefit the museum’s educational programs. Our revamped shop has a beautiful selection of gifts, including jewelry, tea china, glass art, and books.

Ceramic Art

Alyssa Ligmont works in North Lauderdale making wheel-thrown functional and sculptural ceramics. She uses multiple glazes to produce brightly colored surfaces on her high-fired stoneware body. Her hand-made collection of brie bakers and omelet makers are food, dishwasher and microwave safe. Alyssa enjoys knowing that her functional art can be treasured and enjoyed through everyday use.
