DO YOU DO WHOLESALE?
UNFORTUNATELY I REALIZED (AFTER A BUNCH OF TRIAL AND ERROR) THAT THE WHOLESALE SITUATION DOESN’T REALLY WORK FOR MY PROCESS UNLESS MY MUGS WERE GOING TO COST LIKE 200 MILLION DOLLARS RETAIL, WHICH I MEAN, WHO KNOWS? SORRY PEOPLE! I WISH I COULD FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE MORE WORK WHILE BEING THE OBSESSIVE CONTROL FREAK WHO FEELS THE NEED TO BE THROWING EACH AND EVERY PIECE, TRIMMING, FIRING (SOMETIMES THRICE!) DRAWING INTRICATE LITTLE WORLDS ON EACH THING I MAKE - BUT I CANNOT. SO, IN SHORT, I CAN’T DO WHOLESALE BUT THE MINUTE I FIGURE IT OUT I’LL LET YOU KNOW!
DO YOU TEACH?
YES! I LOVE TO TEACH! (AND I’M WORKING ON A BOOK, SHH!)IF YOU WANT TO TAKE AN ONLINE CLASS GO TO THE ‘HOW TO MAKE A POT’ SECTION FOR SOME HOT TIPS AND UPCOMING WORKSHOP INFO. IF YOU RUN A STUDIO PLEASE REACH OUT! I LOVE TO TRAVEL TO DO DEMOS AND CLASSES AND MEET NEW CERAMIC PALS.
ARE YOU OPEN TO COMMISSIONS?
I’M DEFINITELY OPEN TO PROPOSALS OF COMMISSIONS BUT OFTEN AM JAMMED TO THE GILLS WITH STUDIO WORK AND PARENTING A TODDLER SO ITS NOT SO EASY WITHOUT A LOT OF NOTICE. AND IF YOU DON’T HEAR BACK, PLEASE FOLLOW UP! I PROMISE I’M NOT IGNORING YOU BUT A METAPHOR FOR MY LIFE COULD BE THAT ONE-MAN-BAND GUY WHO IS WILDLY SLAMMING ON A DRUM WHILE TOOTING A HORN WHILE SMASHING A TRIANGLE WHILE FLAPPING WINGS ATTACHED TO PENNY WHISTLES AND KICK DRUMS - MEANING SOMETIMES I MISS THINGS IN THE CHAOS, IT’S NOTHING PERSONAL I PROMISE.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED AND HOW OFTEN DO YOU HAVE SALES?
I’M LOCATED IN NYC - MY STUDIO IS IN BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN, AND I DO ABOUT 3-4 OUTDOOR SALES A YEAR IN FRONT OF GREATEST BOOKSTORE OF ALL TIME MOLASSES BOOKS
