Brava Pottery for the Home: 2016

Thursday, June 16, 2016

I'm getting my cottage ready for the weekend sale at the Artist Cottages at Orleans Market Square

The weather is supposed to be perfect.

Just found out weekend hours have changed: I'll be open from 8:30 am to 5 pm on Saturday, the 18th; 10-5 on Sunday, the 19th.

A cool fish-shape bike rack has been installed at the Artist Cottages, so wheel your bike over if you're coming from the bike path.

And do stop by if you've been to the Farmers' Market next door.

Brava Pottery for the Home June 18 & 19 at the Artist Cottages, Orleans, MA

Come see my latest work at the Artist Cottages

next to the Orleans Farmers' Market

the weekend of June 18 & 19.

Brava Pottery, handcrafted stoneware fired in the gas kiln at the Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, is food-safe as well as microwave- and dishwasher-proof. The kitchenware, tableware, vases, and other decorative and functional pieces make ideal house gifts.

I'll be at the Artist Cottages 9-5 on Saturday, 10-4 on Sunday, featuring new work from my winter at Castle Hill (including variations on my classic hand-painted fish dishes) and old favorites (bowls and colanders, refrigerator magnets and bud vases, soap dishes and oval platters).

You'll find me in cottage #8, the one with the mustard yellow trim closest to Old Colony Way and The Chocolate Sparrow. Leave your car in the parking lot between the Sparrow and CVS or walk over after you've been to the Farmers' Market or wheel your bike over from the bike path.

The cottages are open rain or shine, so if it's a beach day, come by before you hit the surf or when you've had enough sun; if it's wet or overcast, it will be more fun than a jigsaw puzzle. If you won't be on the Cape that weekend, tell your friends, family, renters, strangers to drop by.
