It is time for us to open our doors again.

And for the second time we are doing it in style with a huge SECONDS sale of my clay work.

The gate will swing open at 2pm on the 2nd of the 2nd month. That’s a no-brainer!
There is lots to look at and lots of great deals. Some pieces are marked down as much as 80%.

Oddly enough, the only clay soil on our property runs from the top of the slope, straight down the hill to the front of my studio.
How cool is that!

December 15th is International Tea Day and is celebrated in many tea growing regions around the world. It began in India in 2005 to raise awareness of the plight of tea pickers’ working conditions and the challenge small scale tea growers face against corporate producers of international brands. Millions of workers are affected by the forces of the global economy and the dynamics of an ever-expanding tea industry.
To honour the tea workers across the globe, I give away one of my teapots every December 15th. In order to sign up for the draw I simply ask that you enjoy a cup of organically grown, fairly traded tea and think of all the hardworking tea pickers. Send me a line with your contact info or like my facebook page. The draw takes place at the end of the day Thursday. Good luck to all…
