Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this possible, most notably, photographer Julia Eckart. As a Junior studying at the College of St. Benedict/St. John’s University, Julia has done truly professional work as our company’s marketing intern. She has built an amazing, new online store, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Watch for new pottery being added throughout the week! If any of the pottery categories run out, will do our best to keep stocking them with new pottery all month long.

New Pottery Available April 11th at Noon

“The more of us that feel the universe, the better off we will be in this world.”

– Neil deGrasse Tyson

The reason why I make pottery is to enrich people’s lives. The things we surround ourselves with matter. Useful art inspired by our place in the world and in the universe has the power to impact society. These “asteroid cups” and “mountain cups” are examples of our new pottery:

One week from today you will be able to purchase any new pottery in our new online store (COMING SOON).

New Pottery: Cosmic Ambitions, Japanese Traditions

The first Moon mugs and asteroid cups have emerged from the kiln…

Plus, remaining Kickstarter pottery has been thrown. Most pots are glazed and ready to fire, but I must procrastinate for just a couple more weeks. I was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Japan to visit traditional pottery studios, Tokyo galleries and Mount Fuji- all before building my own studio.

Renowned potter Shiho Kanzaki is welcoming us in for a tour of his studio. We’re also visiting Mashiko– a famous town of over 20,000 people who are mostly potters!

New Pottery: Online Store Revamp

We hired skilled photographer Julia Echart to redesign our online store. In 2-3 weeks, we will have a new body of artwork on our gorgeous, new website, with discount coupons given only through this email newsletter.

“When you try to be good, you look like someone trying to be good, and the result is that no one believes in you. The problem is to deal with these things without becoming hyper conscious or over intellectual…The challenge is to do the thing you have to do because you’re in love with it and can’t do anything else.”

– Warren Mackenzie, potter, qtd. in the 1990 issue of The Studio Potter, told by Gerry Williams, editor of The Studio Potter Journal.
