Silken Wool Home store owners, Behrooz Ghorbanian and his wife Sussan Chakamian believe “art” can be incorporated into daily lives. And the selection of items that fill their home furnishing stores in Hamburg/Hardyston, N.J. and Warwick, N.Y. offer a diverse and unique assortment of merchandise.

Most recently, ceramic artist Agatha Wyman is being added to their selection.

Wyman lives in Vernon, N.J. and has been creating ceramic art for more than 25 years. After graduating with honors from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y., she continued learning more about this medium from ceramicists and through her own explorations. She has had numerous shows in the Northeast and is currently teaching locally.

Working in series, Wyman is presenting works from her “Innate and Natural” and her “Game” series at the Hardyston store. The Warwick store has artwork from the “Stone Balloon” as well as the “Game” series. Innates are based on elemental concepts such as one becoming two, and have an organic quality.

The New Jersey store is located at 3672 Route 94 in Hamburg and the phone number is 973-209-0404. The Warwick, N.Y. store is at 56 Main Street and the phone number is 845-988-1888. The Silken Wool Home website is www.SilkenWool.com.
