New designs for this year's Open Studio

12/7/2021

The Holiday Open Studio is back in person! This is my 14th one, and it will be held in my backyard this year, for sake of Covid safety. Masks are requested, not required. Everything will be generously spread out. Keep in mind, there are still some hours when the event is very crowded. 

READ THIS CAREFULLY ... if you are planning to attend, please do not enter the sale before 10am. Over the years, I've had various people trying to figure out how to sneak in early. This year I don't have a door that I can keep shut until I am ready for customers. Please do not take advantage. Absolutely no parking in the driveway! Again, every year a few people ignore this instruction. But this year there will be people and pottery in the driveway. Not to mention, the driveway is shared with my next door neighbors, and their access must be kept open. So please park your car in the street, which is free and plentiful on weekends.

These Soap Dishes are a new design that I will be debuting! They are about 5 inches across, and will be introductory priced at $15 each. During the pandemic, one of the rabbit holes I went down was to explore bar shampoos and conditioners. I made some soap dishes for myself, and I like them so much that I am now offering them for sale. And now I'm going to be one of those people who tells you to reduce your consumption of plastic bottles! Sometimes it's hard to avoid them, but bar soaps and shampoos are easy.

This is another new design for this sale ... a Gravy Boat! I only made two for this sale, and they are both already sold (to the person who suggested I make gravy boats). But you will probably get to see them in person, and think about whether you'd want one later. They hold about 20 oz. Introductory priced at $45 for now. 

This will be your last chance to buy the Small Blossom Dishes. They are being discontinued. They have always presented some production issues (a lot of them end up as seconds). But really the sale of these has dropped off ever since I introduced my latest hexagonal Kimchi Dish design, which I have to agree is a much more appealing design. This doesn't mean I don't want to sell small $10 dishes. I will probably come up with a new one this year, that is more in line with my current design sensibilities.

There will be a well-stocked table full of seconds. I tested a new clay body this year, and also tweaked some glaze recipes. Which results in a lot of seconds!

Here are all the important details:

Good Elephant Pottery's 14th Annual Holiday Open Studio, Backyard Edition
December 11-12, 10am to 3pm each day
​(note that I am closing at 3pm rather than the usual 5pm)

Hope to see you there. Please do not enter before 10am! No parking in the driveway!
