AAOTE is home of AAOTE Aromatherapy, Gemstone, & TZ Glass Collections.

Aspiring Artists of the Earth (AAOTE) has been supplying retailers with our top-selling, artisan-crafted collections for 14 years now. Our owner and resident artist, Tari Zarka, also our resident glass artist, draws and digitizes the artwork used in our wood collections, which is made entirely in-house in PA, U.S.A.. She also designs our finished products and each is assembled in-house. We offer a full range of display options for our collections including counter top and slat wall displays. Customized designs in the wood collections as well as customized packaging options are also available. Products arrive on sales floor packed, priced, and ready for the register.

Our client base, and sales continue to grow annually, thanks to the efficiency we provide to our retailers, our story, and our ever-changing, inspiring designs. People love the functionality and are drawn to the beauty of our work. They feel the love we have for our work, and continue to seek us out to support us to make more of it. For this, we are grateful.

Our home base is in Dublin, PA where we open to the public for special events and the winter holidays. Check back often, and sign up to be on our mailing list to be the first to hear of new products, openings, and events. Please note, as of April 15th, 2018 our Dublin Gallery will no longer be open for regular business hours. For more information go to  Tari's letter on the Events & Openings page. Call us at 215-249-3934 if you'd like to make an appointment to make a special purchase.

We believe in giving back. We donate a minimum of 5% of our profits to charity annually.
We are also partnered with Whole Planet Foundation, donating .08 cents of each item sold in our WFM stores Sept-Dec.

        I purchased a beautiful silver and blown glass necklace.  I get compliments everytime I wear it.  Tari and her artist group are very creative, talented and a pleasure to work with.  I will be going back for more jewelery!! Tricia Chazin Kupst
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        In the seven+ years that I have known Tari, I have purchased many beautiful pieces from AAOTE for friends and family, as well as for me. Whether I’m looking for prints, ceramic, metal work, or hand-blown glass straight from the AAOTE studio, Tari provides a wide selection of unique, hand-crafted items that cannot be found anywhere else (certainly not in the malls or big box retailers!). Everything AAOTE offers is of the highest quality, made by Tari and a select group of local artisans. So if you’re searching for a special conversation piece that will be admired for years to come, I highly recommend AAOTE as the go-to place for one-of-a-kind artwork, jewelry, and gifts!
