Daisy McClellan

Daisy always knew she wanted to be surrounded by art and make things with her hands. She has always loved painting, fiber art, and partaking in traditional crafts. At Smith College she studied Studio Art and Spanish which led to working in advertising and branding. Meanwhile a jewelry making hobby rapidly turned into a full-fledged business making her a top seller on Etsy and taking her around the country selling her designs at various boutiques and maker markets. In 2014, she and her husband Christian opened gather, a brick & mortar retail shop in San Francisco where they featured over 200 artists and hosted creative workshops. In addition, Daisy designed a clothing collection for women and young children, founded a bi-annual shopping market for local boutiques, and worked with several artists on joint collaborations. In early 2020 Daisy and Christian sold the business to move to Charleston, South Carolina with their three sons.

Daisy continues to offer her expertise as a maker, teaching workshops ranging from punch needle to candle making in from her studio & here at the Gibbes.
