our mission
Handmade pottery makes the world a better place, but ceramic ware only goes so far. We have committed to giving cash to organizations who are doing their part to improve our community.
5% of every sale goes to a rotating non-profit, changing quarterly. Our first customer every January, April, July, and October helps us choose our partner for the following three months. Below are partners we have supported with proceeds from our sales.
