Why a Pre-Sale?

A new chapter of my studio life has begun. It hasn’t fleshed out exactly as I’d planned, but this is not a complaint: Holy crap, I’m a full-time potter!! Your purchase will fuel studio operations, and help me gain momentum as a maker and business owner. I hope you’ll join me in this next leg of my creative adventure.

Here’s how it works…

  1. Choose a Form

  2. Choose a Pattern

  3. Choose a Color

Easy peasy, right?? You can also design the bottom and handle of your piece, if you like, or you can leave those details up to me for a delightful surprise.

#1 The Forms

  • Footed Mug, Small — About 10 oz of what it takes to start your day…or unwind at the end

  • Footed Mug, Large — Let’s call it 14 oz, give or take. When you need ALL the coffee, or maybe a beer?

  • Salad Bowl — We use these for salad and ice cream in my house, but the uses are endless

  • Footed Sipper — Whiskey, wine, it’s all fine

  • Footed Tumbler — For a tall drink o’ water, or a little vase for summer blooms!

  • Flat-Bottomed Cup — A drinker or a keeper: wine, juice, pencils

  • Pasta Bowl — The flared rim makes for an elegant presentation, whether it’s your morning yogurt & granola, or a special handmade pasta

  • Serve with Flare (Medium Serving Bowl) — A centerpiece that makes a statement

#2 The Patterns

I have 10 patterns to choose from, in a variety of themes which riff on the classics: stripes, dots, and stars.

Oh wait! There’s more! You can also choose from:

  • Horizontal Brushwork

  • Brushwork with Petri Bursts

  • Small Polkas -or- Large Polkas

  • Carved Hearts

  • Wedges

  • Full & Half Moons

  • 2-Tone Polkas

More images to show examples of these patterns coming soon!

#3 The Colors

Most patterns are available in any of my 10 favorite colors. Cruise around this website or my Instagram feed for ideas and inspiration! (Scroll to the bottom of this page for a sampler of these 10 colors)

Guess what! Yep, there are more colors to choose from!

  • Marigold

  • Pistachio

  • Coral

  • Iceberg Blue

  • Slate

  • Amethyst

More images to show these colors coming soon!

#4 Handles, Bottoms, and Interiors!

If you like, you can further customize your piece by selecting from options for the handle and bottom (#mugbutts), or choose to have the interior brushed with color.


And then, I get to work!

After your design is finalized (you just hollar if you have any questions, before or after placing an order), I will first create a life-size-ish hand-drawn color image of your piece(s). These drawings are fun visual guides for me, but they’re also a gift for you and will ship along with your completed order.

Then I get my hands in the mud! Please expect at least 8 weeks before your order ships. I will keep you posted regarding any changes in the timeline. Keep in mind, each piece is one-of-a-kind, with the inherent variations of any object made by hand (and subject to my own creative standards, of course).


= An exquisitely crafted piece, made just for you!

I’m thrilled to bring you into my studio in this way and be inspired by your ideas!

 
A rainbow of options!
