Arts and Crafts Botanica
Amber Epps







My most powerful tools are my words and my hands. The things that I create have always seemed to touch people's lives in ways that were very special to me. The ability to help others is an amazing and precious gift that I will never take for granted.
As far back as I can remember, I have always been drawn to nature. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t see beauty in a random rock or leaf, or feel the power in a stick or feather. I was lucky enough to have grandparents who owned a farm and when I was little I would lay in bed and listen to the frogs and look at the stars outside the bedroom window. Being still and quiet and just listening, I felt like I was somehow a part of what was going on outside my window. I felt connected to it. To this day, I still collect rocks, sticks, and other things that I find in nature, but always make sure to give back and not just take. In 2016, my partners and I opened Arts & Crafts: Botanica & Occult Shop, where I have been selling my oils, herb baths, and other items ever since. By drawing on my connection with nature, as well as the knowledge and experience gained from my spiritual practice, I am able to create things that bring people comfort. Whether they are looking for love, money, protection, or assistance with some other issue, they trust that what I make will aid them in their journey. There is something special about knowing exactly who made what you are using, and knowing that person dedicated their energy and intentions to help you with your situations.
