What's new at Mimi Stadler Pottery?
Selected items on this website (see menu at the very top of the page) are now 10%-20% off for one week only. You may have gotten an email from me about it already**. Sale begins today, December 3 at 8 a.m. EST and ends on December 10 at 8 p.m. Browse through the pages to see what's a great value!
In addition, I have just updated my website with new pieces. Here is a sampling:
The new Chanukiot (Chanukah menorahs). Good as a Chanukah gift for someone very special, or for a one-of-a-kind gift any time of the year. Each is quite different from the other. This is one of the three I just took from the kiln.

The new Cog Mugs are not up on the site yet, but will come out of the next kiln and be posted at the end of the week. They are delayed because I am going to put them back in the kiln to refire for a smoother glaze finish. I want them to be at their best! Here is a preview of what they will look like. They have nice, all around interesting surface decoration. When they are ready, they will be $24 each; remember that part of the reason you may like these is how interesting their labor intensive creation process makes them. There are ten cog mugs. You can contact me at mimistadlerpottery@gmail.com to reserve one.

Two new serving pieces.

Looking ahead to spring and summer, Grandparent Vases, just the right size for dandelions and violets from the yard brought in by little ones. A wonderful gift for parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents and friends you may know, and very inexpensive!

So this is my shout-out from the Gallery Downstairs, where the shelves are full of some terrific things. Just please remember, the sale is one week long, and then it's done for at least six months and possibly a year.
And last but not least, happy regards from the busy studio, where I am mixing up little batches of new glaze colors to try, my students are learning at a rapid clip, and I'll be making pottery for spring through the cold months of winter. In the meantime, I'm planning a one-time event for the evening of December 7th that will bring three couples or friend pairs into the studio to play with clay for a fun evening...
*(I respect my readers, and since I did not ask you first before adding you to my list, I hope it was welcome. I wanted to quickly apprise you of this limited time sale. If you would like to opt out, there is a simple, clear way to do so provided at the bottom of the emails. If you choose to stay on the list, I promise not abuse the privilege of emailing you. Once a month would be extraordinarily frequent, and it is much more likely to be four times a year. By the same token, if you are NOT on my email list and would like to be, contact me and I'll add you- go to "Contact", way at the top of this page.)
