ESC Trading Company is a family business with a simple and effective company philosophy: they license designs from independent artists, reproduce those designs with meticulous quality and detail, market the products nationwide, and distribute them from their warehouse in Columbus, Ohio.

Each licensed artist has been producing his or her designs by hand for many years, but each has chosen to license through us because they would rather be full-time artists than part-time product managers, accountants, and sales mangers.

ESC Trading Company, in partnership with the Wooden Duck appreciate your support and invite you to stay in touch with us as we continue to grow in the years to come.

One of the featured artists for ESC Trading Company is Lori Mitchell. Lori was born and raised in Marietta, Georgia. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Lori has always been inspired by children's themes and literature, old illustrations and toys.

In 1999 she began making her first paper-mach pieces for the folk art world and has never looked back. Full of whimsy and charm, her characters have won a place in the hearts and collections of folk art enthusiasts worldwide.
