Black Thumb Society

Come see us for our first show in forever!

Anyone else get tricked by the false spring?
Any other teachers counting down until spring break?
This throw back to pandemic era art has me craving all the spring vibe wildflowers!

Hey, it’s been a minute, Let’s catch up a little! If you’re new here I’m Katt. Y’all know me as the main artist behind Black Thumb but behind the scenes my “adult” job is as a Preschool Teacher, which is so much fun but a lot of work & focus. I’ve been putting a lot of energy in that direction and so I’ve been quiet here on social media. I’m finding my groove balancing all-the-things as a type A personality who loves juggling tons of different things. You can always find our art at and we are working out our events schedule for this year as we plan to go back to our roots and do shows again this summer, more about that later! For now, tell me what you’d love to see more of this year? Succulents? Skulls? Bouquets? Let’s hear it!

Making big statement pieces is always such a hard process due to my perfectionism, but this piece was a flow of creativity and pulling from my pile of greenery. This piece (and another similar one and the same style vessel) are available at The York Merchant.

Speaking of new things, look at these amazing elemental ornaments Tom created. All handmade locally. $15 each exclusively at The York Merchant.

It’s small business Saturday & the booth at The York Merchant is fully stocked as of this morning with so many new designs, go check them out!

Good things take time to grow. Come see us at on small business Saturday to see the newest designs.

Message posted by a local artist and Crafter I am forwarding on behalf of all of the art and craft vendors that we work with throughout the year:
Thinking about and choosing to spend money locally massively improves the economy of the people around you it's 2:00 p.m. the power designs all the services went out in the entire area as well

Pop-up vintage market and festival coming to downtown York for two days The 717 Vintage Fest, a vintage-only vendor market featuring clothing, accessories, home decor and more, will be held at New York Wire Works.

One of my favorite compliments I get when I talk with customers is when they tell me, “they look so real!” Working with wood flowers for the last 6 years has definitely had its ups and downs, but hearing that makes me so happy. I spend so much time handpicking my flower designs for succulents, mixing and dipping them, hand painting and air brushing. It’s a process for sure, all to make a little pot of happiness for you. Be sure to check us out exclusively at The York Merchant and be on the lookout for our announcement of Fall shows coming soon.

Check out the new flower bar! This pick your own setup will be changing slightly soon in a great way. The spools are from New York Wire Works past life as a factory & you can find this setup inside The York Merchant.

The York Merchant and The Wireworks Exchange & Flea will be closing early today due to internet network issues from yesterday's storm. We will reopen tomorrow for our regular business hours. See you tomorrow! ☀️

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not. As a q***r disabled artist inclusivity, acceptance, and transparency are important.
Like many of you I woke Sunday morning to news of a post on Cotton & Co Vintage Boutique’s social media.
After ongoing conversations with Julie, the owner, I have decided that we will be leaving Cotton & Co Vintage Boutique.
Our last day of business there will be July 30th and 10% of this month’s gross sales from Black Thumb Society at Cotton & Co Vintage Boutique will be donated to The Trevor Project, a personal favorite LGBTQ non-profit to balance out the hate that was put out into the universe.
Know here at Black Thumb everyone is loved and valid and hate has no place.

One of my favorite things about being an artist is the community that I’ve found. One of my favorite local artist Bunny Rose Tattoos has been my go to tattoo artist for the last year and when I approached them with my new logo idea they absolutely created a logo better than I could of envisioned. Look for the debut of our new logo as we transition to our new flagship location at The York Merchant inside New York Wire Works on August 5th!
