Hear ye. An in person only item that you can buy and own forever. While supplies last
Week two at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival begins today. Come find this rebel loon tankard and other completely hand made pottery. Minnesota made too.
This tankard is made from local suppliers Continental Clay (mod fire white clay) and Minnesota Clay (speckled white glaze and a studio black glaze). Come find us at booth 634 across from the Children’s realm. No AI 3D slop. No ‘dynamic pricing’. No subscription fee. No billionaires needed/wanted
A portion of the sale of these will go to support opendoor-pantry.org. A food outreach organization to feed people in Dakota County MN. For the good of all
Cheers

Over the winter I watch TV and play video games. Last year my son and I liked playing Manor Lords on and off
I realized I have a Burgage Plot with a shop extension in game terms
A lot relevant ideas and tips ‘start small’ ‘be very careful with finite resources’ ‘don’t build more than you need’ ‘deal with bandits as they arrive’
Anyway. I make things by hand. If you like them buy them. I don’t do filters, AI, photoshop, bait and switch, dynamic pricing. I put a price on a pot in my shop. I’ve a shelf for items that don’t sell so well. It happens
Opening the doors to booth 634 at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival in 8 days. Rain or shine

Unloading a hot kiln. It’s hard to wait. I’ll let it cool a bit before unloading the rest. You can hear my other bisque kiln firing in the background. That load will fire, cool and then be prepped for glazing and firing this weekend. 19 days until the start of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Come check out our booth (634) rain or shine. Cheers

I make stuff. That’s how I cope. Somehow Facebook spread my last post waaaay beyond the page’s followers. By day two it was over 55,000+ views. 🤯
A few people said ‘don’t be political’…nope. See I keep saying the pledge of allegiance and the ‘liberty and justice for all’ part just sings. Anyway here are some more pictures from the 2nd oldest profession: pottery. See y’all at booth 634 in 19 days.
Cheers
