Beat Up Creations, NEW at Urban Alchemist






Beat Up Creations uses recycled, abused, tossed aside, broken and forgotten items and trun them into fabulous new creations. She claims not to be an artist... but.... (: This is what SHE says: "I strive to be simple. I like small things, dirty art and banjo music. Most of the time I am called Angela. I was born and bred in Los Angeles. My father and my brother are both professional artists. My mother is an expert craftsman. I am not. Having had a broken heart, broken wings, loose marbles and the such I have discovered that I am much better with a glue gun than a paint brush. I just try to be true to the idea's in my head by recycling unloved and forgotten items."

T. Kahres's organic, rockin roll jewelry!






Urban Alchemist proudly represents jeweler T. Kahres who has successfully sold with us since the beginning in 2008.

Teresa Kahres has been designing her line of nature-inspired jewelry from her studio in the heart of D.U.M.B.O., Brooklyn; a stimulating community of burgeoning artists.
Although she also works as a silversmith, her love of the outdoors has steered her towards enameling, a medium that allows for the use of colors in a way that more closely captures the essence of the objects that inspire her.

The torch method enables her to manipulate these colors into fine lusters, and she often embellishes her pieces with her signature use of pearls. While her pieces, often castings of organic matter such as sea urchins, leaves, and shells, have an ethereal quality, they also possess strength and substance.

Rabbits Moon stuffed animals





These super sweet stuffed animals are hand-crafted in a smoke-free studio in brooklyn with loving care and a bit of quirkiness. All items are one-of-a-kind, made from a combination of vintage/japanese/new fabrics. Urban Alchemist was in New York Magazine and Rabbitsmoon was featured!
