Grand Reopening...South Side Pittsburgh Branch Library

Today was a special day in the South Side.

After being closed for more than a year for green renovations, our neighborhood library has opened bigger and better than ever.

We love our city, and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, open since 1895, is an important reason why.

May 20, 2011, Library Deconstruction Party

 

 

September 8, 2012

 

The rain did not keep us away from the Grand Reopening...we waited too long.

 

 

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl was there.

So was a giant walking Library Card??!!??

The new library has a self service kiosk.

The talking heads were there.

One of the largest numbers of ribbon cutters assembled.

How many scissors does it take to cut a ribbon?

They did it!

 

Congratulations to a job well done!

That was a Grand Reopening Party!

 

Back in business :))

 

View of the studio...

I love most phases of our pottery production, especially when there are so many happening at one time. From my view, I can see pots being stamped, pots freshly stamped, and pots turned upside down (to encourage the drying of the pot bottoms) and basking in the sun.

It's hard not to enjoy the beautiful simplicity of the pottery cycle.

Sometimes, it's the simple things.

 

We got an email from a customer who took the time to write us a short note.

It said," The FedEx man was just here and delivered your beautiful crock ~ This was the 4th one of these we have ordered over the years ~ I know our friends will LOVE it ~!! :) Thank you so very much ~ !! :)

Have a great day ~

sincerely,

Chris S.

 

 

 

 

 

Pottery classes for kids...

Quite often, we get the following question:

"Hi - I was wondering if you offer pottery classes for kids (my daughter is 12). Thanks."

Currently, we don't, but I do like to offer the following options.
The first would be Manchester Craftsmen's Guild.
http://mcgyouthandarts.org/atp/ceramics

And the second would be the Union Project.
http://www.unionproject.org/Ceramics/Ceramic_Classes

We really like the quality and the objectives of these organizations.

Sweet gift messages...

This was one of my favorite gifts. I know you will cherish it too. Congratulations and happy planning! Love you, Morgen

CONGRATULATONS TO YOU TWO, LIZ & I RECEIVED OUR WEDDING CROCK FOR OUR MARRIAGE MAY 30 1998, IT IS A GIFT I CHERISH THAT I SEE EVERY DAY, LOVE TO YOU BOTH, UNCLE JOHN

We love our Shop dogs...

Zotter The Potter handmade stoneware pet bowl

Size: 4" x 7.5"

to order: http://zotterthepotter.com/personal.php?item=PB&cat=0

Our personalized pet gifts are more popular than ever. You and your pets will love the virtually spill proof design. As are all our personalized gifts, the glazed surface will make cleaning your personalized pet gifts much easier.

One of the biggest benefits of using stoneware ceramic is that it is very clean and hygienic. They are super easy to wash and don’t suck up chemicals and toxins.

Stoneware ceramic is also handy for popping into the dishwasher. The heat of the dishwasher will kill any bacteria or germs and mean that the dish will be completely clean.

This large personalized pet bowl is a great size for medium to large dogs.

We are lucky to be able to bring our dogs to the pottery studio.

I'm even luckier because I get to keep one right next to me in an extra desk drawer.

We put a little cushion in there to make it a little more comfortable.

 She thinks it's more comfortable than this cushy dog bed.

 Which means nothing because he thinks the concrete floor is more comfortable than the dog bed too.

He likes roughing it.

Meet Jenna

Jenna is a very talented potter we're lucky to have at the studio. We're showing and selling some of her pieces on our Zotter The Potter Etsy Store. If you have a moment, please take some time to explore it.
