You read that right. This is an artist’s choice mug selection. One of the Gravesco Pottery artists will choose a mug for you from the new Loft Collection. Each mug is unique and will be a lovely surprise in your post.

Working in a production pottery studio where we make the same forms day after day allows us to hone our skills on specific details that make our pottery identifiable as our own. At some point, though, we need to just have some fun! The Artist’s choice mugs are a fun exercise in playfulness. We start with a stack of prepared clay, all the same size, with the intent of making no two mugs exactly the same.

Each mug holds approximately 16 ounces of your favorite hot or cold beverage. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. The clay is a rich shade of tan and the glaze is a crisp white that just allows the edges of the marks in the clay to show through. Every mug has Rebecca’s signature handle that is pinched just so as it is made so your fingers rest right where hers do. It’s like holding hands but you won’t catch the cooties from it.

We appreciate that you’re about to allow us to choose a new favorite mug for you!

Twenty-four illustrations of sexy girls, beatnik birds, wine and martinis, foul language and statements of fact are all assembled in one handy dandy 8.5x11" book for your coloring pleasure.

If you enjoy coloring and are looking for something a little less...um...new age inspirational, then this is the book for you. Not that there's anything wrong with new age inspirational but sometimes you just need to scream OH SHIT at the top of your lungs to feel better.  I've found that illustrating this book left me giggling and hope coloring these pages has the same effect for you.

52 pages

8.5x11 Soft Cover Book with a full color cover and white single sided pages with black linework.

All the images are original freehand illustrations with old fashioned pen and paper by me, Rebecca Graves.

 When you order the book here, you will receive a PDF with bonus coloring pages to print yourself.

$5 flat rate shipping in the continental US!

ALSO! For the Holidays you’ll be able to purchase an Artist Choice Bundle with whole bean Circadian coffee and a handmade coffee scoop. It’s a terrific gift for anyone who loves coffee or a terrific way to try Circadian coffee in style.

It's time to add a little oxygen-generating greenery to our homes after being stuck inside for so long.

The Loft Planter is handmade on the potters wheel using a tan clay and the unglazed saucer is hand built for a little bit of the organic feel. There is a hole in the bottom of the pot for drainage.

Measures approximately 4.5-5" wide and 3.5-4" tall.

We love this size planter for some windowsill herbs or hardy succulents.

We have limited stock on hand. Once gone, we'll continue making them to order. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery!

Sometimes it is fun to just play and make something for the fun of it. Some days that means taking existing pottery and glazing it in colors or ways we wouldn't normally do just because a little variation when we open the kiln makes it even more like Christmas.

The Artist's Choice Coffee Scoop is a handmade ceramic spoon and we've glazed a variety of gorgeous colors. We'll choose a unique spoon just for you that is unlikely to be repeated again because we did it out of pure joy and serendipity, as a break from our normal routine.

The Coffee Scoop can be hung on a hook or nail at your coffee station or in the drawer. It's all up to you. It makes a fantastic gift with a bag of our favorite whole bean coffee from Circadian Coffee Roasters right here in Indianapolis.

Thank you for letting us choose you new favorite coffee scoop for you! You won't get to choose the color, but we're going to have so much fun choosing for you and it'll be a surprise in the post.

Everybody loves getting the good kind of surprise mail, right? One of the Gravesco Pottery artists will choose a mug for you from the new Loft Collection. Each mug is unique and will be a lovely surprise in your post.

The clay is a rich shade of tan and the glaze is a sexy black we love as a classic. It's like a pair of black slacks that go with everything (Or let's be honest, during quarantine a pair of black leggings or sweats). Every mug has Rebecca’s signature handle that is pinched just so as it is made so your fingers rest right where hers do. It’s like holding hands but you won’t catch the cooties from it.

Each bread baker will be made to order. Orders will be filled in the same order they are received. It takes 2-4 weeks to make a bread baker from beginning to end. We genuinely appreciate your patience during the making process. Like a good bread, good pottery takes time.

Gratitude, cleansing, meditating, space clearing and blessings are just a few of the ways that ethically sourced palo santo can improve your spiritual practice and well being. It’s not incense to be lit because you want a room to smell good, it’s so much more. It is sacred, must be ethical and used with clear intent.

With a long history as a holy wood whose smoke is healing it is no surprise that during the stay at home lockdowns during the pandemic many people are turning to palo santo to relieve stress and create a stronger connection with ritual. It is my desire to offer a Palo Santo ritual kit that encourages you to celebrate the sacred nature of this sacred smoke and offers an option for using sacred herbs as something more than just air freshener. 

For decades, palo santo has been my first choice when I bring something new into my home that I want to smudge, when I want to meditate on gratitude or when it is time to do a simple smudge to clear my home. I even use it as an intentional shift from the busy work of running a production studio to sitting at the wheel and making pottery. It creates a threshold between the ordinary and elevated.

Designing a vessel to enhance that ritual was a pleasure. The Palo Santo Burning Bowl will hold the palo santo safely aloft to allow for smudging without the danger of fire from a glowing ember falling onto something unexpected. 

Each handmade ceramic palo santo kit includes three sticks of ethically sourced palo santo, a small bag of pure silica sand for the center of the bowl for extinguishing your palo santo and helping to hold it in place more securely and one of my favorite palo santo cleansing rituals courtesy of Deb Swingholm at Flowering Moon - an expert in ancient Goddess symbolism, space clearing master and educator.

Now, if you’re as curious as I was about the ethics of palo santo...

There is so much information floating around about Palo Santo, some of which is accurate and much that is not at all based in truth. In an intentional effort to respect the holy aspect of palo santo and to continue our passion for sourcing materials with integrity the Palo Santo sticks we offer are ONLY sourced from a well-reputed individual source that submits to certification and auditing to confirm proper licensing for harvest, approved harvesting methods, respect for the holy wood, and partnerships with native communities to encourage growth and success for all involved. From our supplier, “For us, the value of environmentally conscious forestry practices & the humane treatment of our native community partners far outweigh the value of the dollar.” If you’d like to learn more you can find more information direct from our source here.

Mouth watering sweet orange and classic sweet patchouli are a bright yet soothing combination. Each bar of our handmade soap is fragranced enough to delight you when you use it but not so heavily scented that you'll be wearing it all day long. We like to think this just keeps us coming back for more.

Handmade soap is always a wonderful gift, stocking stuffer if you're planning ahead for the holidays, or treat for your coworkers who are probably as tired of harsh detergent as you are.

We love our handmade soaps for frequent hand washing without harsh chemicals but also use it in the tub for all over. I've even enjoyed it as a shampoo on my short hair.

If you haven't used handmade cold process soap before, you're in for a treat. If handmade soaps are old hat for you, get ready for a bar that is gently cleansing and filled with moisturizers.

For longest lasting results, keep your bar stored on a draining soap dish or wire rack so it completely dries out between uses. I like to cut each bar in half and keep one half in the linen cupboard to lightly scent my towels and keep it dry until I'm ready to use it.

Each hand cut bar is packed in a pure cotton muslin bag with a drawstring then wrapped with our label printed on French Paper Company paper. We love French Paper Company because they've been producing high quality paper for generations using hydro power close by in Niles, Michigan. Click here to learn more about their environmentally conscious paper production and how they power the whole town!

3.5" x 2.25" x 1" bars weigh 4-4.5 oz on average.

Handmade for Gravesco Pottery in the United States using premium ingredients.

Ingredients: Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Zea Mays (Corn) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Aqua, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance. May contain FD&C color.

Please note that due to the handmade nature of this soap, color shades and swirl styles may slightly vary. Each loaf and bar is unique!

Sometimes simple really is the best choice. As much as we love lush imagery and layers of texture, there is nothing quite like a simple white tumbler that can become an accessory to your entire day.

It took years to find the exact method for fitting a 100% pure silicone travel lid successfully. It’s a tight fit that will prevent leaks and if you’d like to see how they fit, you can check it out on my IGTV where I do a little tutorial video of how to put the lids on these babies to keep your coffee in your ceramic tumbler and not on your favorite tshirt.

Each wheel thrown travel tumbler is made with our favorite tan speckled clay and glazed with a classic white glaze that will go with everything for years to come.

Just in case you’re concerned, we have to say we haven’t yet found a cupholder it won’t fit in.

The small Modern Traveler holds approximately 10 oz of your favorite hot or cold beverage.

The Large Modern Traveler holds approximately 12-13 oz of your favorite hot or cold beverage.

If you like your drink super hot, you may want to add a silicone heat resistant band for $2. I personally don’t drink my coffee quite that hot but am aware plenty people do and I don’t want you to burn your hands if that’s you.
