Where’s my pottery?

When the Covid pandemic hit last spring, the craft fairs/markets at which I normally sold my pottery were cancelled. Fortunately this fall the owners of Panhandle Produce (Kylie and Eli Wray) asked me if I’d like to display and sell my pottery at their store. I did that, and that has been a great success for me; I’m back to making new pots. Just this month, I started up my BirdNestPottery.com website, which will make it easier for interested buyers to see what I have to offer, especially for those who don’t live in Juneau.

While I am busy making some new items, I still have a few items here at my home, which you can see below. If anything catches your eye, please contact me through this website (click on ‘contact’ in the main menu) or at birdnestpottery@gmail.com. I can answer any questions you may have, or send something off to you, and I also can do a commission if you have something in mind.

Thanks for looking!

Buy my pottery on-line!

In this time of sheltering in place and social distancing, my pottery is piling up with no outlet for selling it. The good news is that you can purchase my works online using your credit card or PayPal account. Shop from your home, and I will deliver your purchases to your doorstep safely and sanitarily. Be sure to let me know your phone number and address. And thank you for your support! Check back weekly for new offerings.

Something new!

I made my first lamp! It was a lot of fun to put it all together, and now I have ideas for more that I’d like to make. I will have this one, and maybe a couple more, next time I’m selling. Speaking of that, the next time I will have my pots out for sale is December 14 (Saturday) at the Mendenhall Mall from 11:00 until 5:30. There will be several other new pots that would make great holiday gifts, too, so DO come see!

A New Market!

E1B2C9AA-61DC-4239-92FA-8E955EF892C7

Formerly known as the Second Saturday Market, which was located in the Airport Shopping Center, this new market will be held at the JACC On the first Saturday of the month. Head over there tomorrow, November 3 to see my work as well as the work of other crafters and “farmers”. See you there!

Ramping up for the holidays!

Though you haven’t put your Halloween costumes away, it is time to plan for any pottery you might want to give as gifts for the winter holidays. It takes me a month to process a pot from start to finish, so if you have any special orders you want me to make for you, now is the time to put in that request. Contact me at birdnestpottery@gmail.com, or call my cell.

I will be selling my work next at the Mendenhall Mall Craft Fair on November 23 and 30, and December 14 and 21.

Meanwhile I am working very hard to restock the popular items that went home with buyers when I last sold publicly: oil bottles, butter dishes, black pottery, raven mugs, etc. Here are some photos of new stuff here:
