About Artifacts of Joy

At Artifacts of Joy we transform the ordinary into the extraordinary! We believe in giving new life to secondhand ceramics and tchotchkes through vibrant, hand-painted designs. Our passion is to infuse joy and creativity into everyday objects, creating unique pieces that bring a smile to your face and warmth to your home. Our Mission at Artifacts of Joy is to blend sustainability with artistry. By repurposing secondhand items, we reduce waste and celebrate the beauty of the past. Each piece is thoughtfully selected and meticulously hand-painted, ensuring every creation is unique and full of character. From planters and vases to plates and bowls, our ceramics bring color and charm to your home. Each item is practical and beautiful, made with high-quality, durable paints and non-toxic sealants. We transform small, everyday objects like figurines, trinket boxes, and decorative dishes into delightful works of art. Perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your space or as unique gifts. Our creative process begins with carefully selecting secondhand items that inspire us. These pieces are cleaned and prepped, ready to become canvases for our Scandinavian-inspired designs. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted, ensuring no two items are alike. Choosing Artifacts of Joy means supporting sustainability, unique artistry, and local craftsmanship. Each piece is made with love in Minnesota, bringing joy and beauty into your everyday life.Read their story
