Born in the woods of Northern Michigan, MUD BUNNY is a curated concept boutique founded by photographer and artist Jess Farran. Specializing in handmade ceramics, artisan jewelry, and collectible art objects, each one-of-a-kind piece is made using raw, foraged, or sustainable materials. 

Rooted in deep reverence for the natural world, MUD BUNNY is a creative exploration of our past, and the ancient rituals that connect us across place and time. With no fixed boundaries, it is a space guided by a thoughtful curiosity (and an unwavering devotion) to craftsmanship, material integrity, and meaning.
