Jacob in action, changing out kiln heating elements this weekend. Necessary maintenance to get back up and firing! In the second shot you can see the new vs old elements. Guess which is which. 😂

A preview of coming attractions. We will be prepping a second glaze load to fire followed by a shop update.

Things just taste better to me when they are in something handmade.

Local friends - if you want to get a piece of pottery from us and want to just pickup to avoid shipping in these final shopping days, just use the code LOCALPICKUP at checkout on our Etsy page and we won't have to deal with refunding you your shipping!

We are so excited to finally have a shop update for you! We have put up our belated Pride series pieces (we will be donating profits to LGBTQA organizations) as well as some wonderful pieces for fall. I hope you'll grab something by visiting https://brighterskiespottery.com/.

A reminder that if you are in Wisconsin and want to do a doorstep pickup, that's an option! Just put it in the notes on Etsy and we'll refund your shipping & set up a pick up time for you.

Thank you so much!

Hi, all. After a (far too long) delay, we'll be making a shop update tomorrow at 5pm Central time. A bunch of rainbow-themed items will be added, along with a variety of vases. We'll update again when the listings are live. Thanks!

These two items got snapped up by a friend, but more items are coming as soon as photos are taken.

Thanks to J for purchasing these. Items during June will have funds donated to Fair Wisconsin and the Trans Law Center. Happy Pride!

Don't worry. We're still here! Michelle and I were hoping to have a big update with pride items mid June, but we ran into another round of kiln troubles with firings failing early on. We have some parts on the way and should get up and running at the end of next week. I'll post another update when we get things up and running and maybe some pictures of kiln guts.

A pair of nesting watermelon bowls made as a commission for a family member. We're hoping to get more of these into the store before summer, for all your outdoor entertaining activities.
