WEBSITE FOR OUR DIRTY BIRD BIRD BATHS!
......just add water......

Extra large bird bath tops require special handling at every stage: throwing a huge amount of clay, extra slow drying, extra slow bisque firing, and extra slow glaze firing. They're worth the effort!

Our website store will be temporarily closed for the duration of our 2022 Labor Day Sale, so that we may offer our entire inventory for sale here at our studio. Soon after the sale, however, we will reopen our online offerings with an entirely new selection.
We plan to eventually post all of our pottery on our website for online purchasing and drive thru pick up. We'll have many customer favorites available for both local pick up and coast-to-coast shipping. Keep checking back to see what's available as we post more and more items. If you would like to have something shipped, let us know, and we can give you an estimate of the cost (please be aware that shipping pottery is ridiculously expensive - sorry!)

There is often something new! We are always experimenting with new forms and glazes, so visit often to join us in our constantly evolving artistic journey!
