5 out of 5 starsJust received my latest order from Firefly and the basket base is beautiful and the same high quality as my previous purchases from this artist. And thank you so much for the extra base- it's beautiful.

5 out of 5 starsI bought a Cat Spoon Rest and when I received it, it was packed with bubble wrap and peanuts, it was protected really good. There was barely any room for air in the box! The order arrived on time too. The only concern was that the other two styles of the Cat Spoon Rests were sold out! I'm keeping my open for new stock!
About ShellsPotteryShop
The ShellsPotteryShop AKA Firefly Design Studio Story
Michelle McCarthy has been creative her whole life. She has experimented with many mediums...until she discovered clay! After taking classes at her local art center, Michelle began a part time career selling her functional and decorative pieces at local art shows. It wasn't until she made a few beads that she found her true love and full time dream career! Art beads are fun, beautiful, inspirational and most of all, addictive!
My business is going through a rebranding process from Firefly Design Studio, to Shells Pottery. My parents called me Shell, and creating beach themed work is my favorite, so it's a perfect name to continue under.
My hope is you enjoy creating with the ceramic beads and pendants I create, as well as wearing my unique jewelry designs. I also create decorative and functional pottery, both with hand building and wheel throwing techniques.
