Flavia and Lisa Weedn's creative talents have been the core of our family's expressive work from 1980. Here is Flavia, Lisa and Stella Weedn, Flavia's granddaughter.

Flavia Weedn was an amazing woman. She began selling art on the streets of California as a single mom in 1959. She had been a tap dance instructor and a fashion merchandiser since she was 18. Art and dance and fashion were her passions.

Her husband, Jack Weedn and she remarried and he, with the encouragement of all the Weedn family led us in the family business with his great ideas.

Flavia's brother, Bill Register brought in his own artistic talents with wood and paint. Flavia's mother, Sylvia Register was the seamstress and doll maker. Flavia's sister Judy Register-Kohler and brother in law, Eric Kohler managed printing. In one way or another her art touched us all.

Lisa Weedn and Richard Weedn, Flavia's children added art, writing and design abilities as they grew up in the business.

Flavia's mission to care for her family never stopped. This art adventure is still creating art after 60 years. It is now based in Lugano, Switzerland.

Flavia and Jack's children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren carry on the tradition today making handmade, earth friendly goods in a family environment.

Life is short and art lasts forever.
