The Squids are Baack! New designs for 2022 include seahorses, mermaids and other new surprises. The new kiln arrived on Earth Day, April 22, so May will bring lots of new pieces- the shelves are already full. Thank you for your past purchases and kind words. Enjoy!
I am happy to answer questions or send additional photos, and I really appreciate your Etsy review on purchases. I use recycled materials like shredded junk mail and previously used packaging for shipping to be as eco-friendly as possible.
NOTE: I can only do holds or reserves on items for 24 hours, due to limited availability and high demand. Sorry, due to new and complex 2022 rules,
I CAN NO LONGER SHIP to Germany.
SHIPPING: If you are out of the U.S.A. and don't find a SHIPPING OPTION listed, please send me a convo message and I'll give you a shipping cost. Keep in mind that pottery is heavy- one mug with packaging generally weighs at least 1.5 to 2 lbs. Larger or multiple pieces are more. There is a 4 lb. limit for USPS regular mail before the costs jumps a lot. For a shipping option OTHER than Priority Mail, check the choices and you should be able to choose a different one, or MESSAGE me BEFORE buying for options.

Art is my religion, (my gift, my safety net, and my joy.)
Someone told me about Etsy. First I became a member, just to buy great hand-made items and find inspiration.
I took an 8-year break from pottery until 2022- not so much by choice, but because of a major move. I am so happy to get back to creating with clay again! It all started back in 2007 when I made a couple of specialty squid/octopus mugs for my daughter and her friend, and decided to post a few on Etsy. I suddenly had more and more requests and the shop was off and running. I have expanded the offerings to include many more themes and inventive designs.
I have a studio in my home, and there's always something new in the works! When I look back at how many pieces I've sold on Etsy, I'm actually quite stunned. People always like to ask, "How long did this piece take to make?" My answer, "About 45 years," which is true!
I have enjoyed connecting with other artists here, and appreciate the many talented and creative people who are finding markets for their work on ETSY. The world is truly our marketplace here- I have sent pieces to many countries since the shop opened in 2008.

Payment
I accept credit card payments through Etsy.
For Pay Pal- you do NOT have to have an account with Paypal, just click the Paypal button when you go through the checkout and look for the link to pay with your credit card!
Once payment is received your purchase will be shipped in the next couple of business days.
If you have any questions concerning an item, a policy, or anything else about my shop please feel free to convo me.
Shipping
Because stoneware is quite heavy and there is a 4 lb. limit per box before the price goes up considerably, I will sometimes ship in more than one box if you order several items. I will do refunds if your shipping is considerably less than what you paid. I also insure using ShipSaver through Etsy.
Most international parcels take about 2 weeks using regular 1st class mail, but I have had packages make it to New Zealand in under a week.
NOTE- If you are out of the U.S.A. and don't find a SHIPPING OPTION listed, please send me a convo message and I'll give you a shipping cost.
I sometimes reuse boxes for shipping, so let me know if you prefer a new box. I can also gift-wrap at your request. Thank You!
