Smit & Zig

Smit & Zig We are Katie Smith and Sarah Porzig. Two crafters who have joined forces. This page will show you ou Hello! I am Katie.

I was born and raised in NJ where a love for the arts began and was eagerly encouraged by my family. Christmas gifts often included art supplies and I was allowed to take over our old laundry room as my own art studio. I continued to enjoy art throughout High School, joining the Art honor Society. After High School I went up to Boston to Study Art at the Museum School of Fine Arts. It was an amazi

ng four years but I never was able to focus in on exactly what I wanted to do. Since then I've been painting, drawing and sewing on the side. When Sarah and I met up our love for art collided and things like craft time, sewing challenges and the increasingly more competitive attempt to "out Craft" each other during the holidays ensued. My Aunt invited Sarah and I to be involved in an Art Festival in Morristown, NJ and we had a blast! With this new motivation and the constant encouragement from family and friends to kindly "Start and Etsy page!!!" we have decided to take a step in that direction. Everything is new to us so a little patience would be appreciated.

Diving into some Christmas gifts and trying to work a little larger.

Poppies have been a focus recently since I see them on my commute home every day and it feels like with the excess rain they are extra fluffy and green.
