This year's event will be funding our studio move.

That's right! We're moving the studio! 

The store is staying right where it is! Just the studio is moving.

In August of 2019 I signed a 5 year lease on a huge studio in an industrial building in the Near Eastside of Indianapolis. We needed every inch of space!

A few short months later the world came to a halt in March 2020 and since then we've been scrambling to keep up, waiting out the lease and being scrappy to make ends meet.

The lease is almost over and we are moving our entire production under the same roof as our store on E Michigan Street. This means we'll be saving thousands of dollars a month in expenses, will be able to better serve our community and our team, and we can set our small business up to thrive instead of survive.

Our goal is to sell $20,000 worth of pottery at our Big Pottery Sale. When we do that, we'll have enough to cover our expenses for the move including upgrades for electrical, ventilation, air filtration and flooring to support the pottery production.

The cool thing about the move is that now you'll be able to peer in and see us actually making the pottery when you stop by the shop.

I made a video about the sale over on Instagram. If you're not already following us, pop over and give us a follow so you can stay up to date on all our shenanigans.
