5 out of 5 starsThe bowl arrived very quick. I expected it to take a couple of weeks but it got to me in just a few days! It is just as beautiful in person or even more so! It’s big enough to fit a huge skein of yarn. It’s just so pretty!!

About DandelionPottery
How I Got My Hands Messy
One night in December of 2011, I casually said to my husband, “What do you think of me quitting my job?” He immediately replied “I was thinking the same thing.” So, after a mere 10 days of prayer, thought and some loose financial calculations, I wrote a quick resignation email to the Personnel Director at my “hard-to-get-a-job-in” school district in a suburb of Philadelphia, PA. After 9 ½ years of teaching art (mostly elementary) I decided to stay home with my two little boys, start teaching Sunday School and..... make pottery! While a full time teacher I was frustrated that I couldn’t find time to for my own artwork (unless you count my amazing tissue paper butterflies, paper mache masks and watercolor-over-crayon masterpieces). I used my last precious paycheck to buy a small kiln. I had already purchased my own wheel a few years back while in Graduate School at Tyler School of Art, earning a master’s degree in Art Education. Our basement was now my studio! My goal was to spend about 1 day a week making pottery and eventually try to sell a bit of it here, on Etsy.
I opened my itty bitty business, Dandelion Pottery, in late April, 2012. I made my first sale on my birthday in early May to a total stranger. Since then the sales have been coming in at about the same pace as I am able to get the work done. I haven’t worn my “teacher clothes” in months, have short ugly fingernails nails, rarely wear my wedding ring (sorry Pete!), and we have a faint trail of clay footprints in varying sizes all through our house. I am one happy Mommy.

Meredith Soto
Owner, Maker, Designer
Before starting my own business, I was an elementary art teacher for about 10 years. I decided to resign and stay home with my boys and make a bit of pottery when I wasn't wiping noses and making PB & J. I couldn't be happier!
Shop policies
I make all my pottery in my basement studio in Oreland, PA (just outside of Philly). I fire the pieces in my electric kiln to cone six. Everything is dishwasher and microwave safe. I only use glazes that have been tested to be food safe.
I will work hard to ensure that your purchase goes as smoothly and quickly as possible. I'd love to get your feedback. Thank you for stopping by my shop! Meredith

Payment
Shipping
I use new or sturdy used boxes and use recyclable paper or used packaging materials (peanuts, air packs, etc). I use bubble wrap for some items. When I package my pottery I imagine it being dropped, stepped on and trampled during its journey. I package it to survive! Also, I allow my rambunctious boys to carry packages into the Post Office with me... so yes, it's packaged well!!
