We’re breaking in our ‘new-to-us’ pug mill, generously donated by Quail Run Pottery to The Village Potters Foundation, who then gifted it to us. So many incredible kindnesses from so many incredible people- many we’ve never met yet each has a profound impact on our rebuild.

And yes, still rebuilding, but also working and deeply grateful every day.

Grateful to have been invited by Carolina Small Business Development Fund and Western Women’s Business Center to participate when they welcomed attendees from the 2026 Rural LISC Conference to Asheville Mall, and proud to have made a special gift to attendees. Thanks to all who talked with me and had such genuine interest in and care for our hurricane recovery, and to CSBDF and WWBC for their ongoing support.

So humbled and grateful for this acknowledgment, which of course if it’s coming to me is also really for the multitudes of others who have guided and supported me these past almost two years. And so happy my mom was there to share in it, as she’s my first inspiration as an entrepreneur and human. ❤️🥰

Yes I promise a fuller update and pics of all our progress in the studio is coming, but look who has a grown up headshot! Thank you so much Michelle Caudle of Silver Moon Photography for getting these done so quickly for me. As one who is far more comfy behind the scenes, she made the entire experience fun and relaxing. If you attend the Forward Together Conference & Awards next week, you’ll see this mug again as I’ll be there to gratefully accept an award for Innovator of the Year. 😳🤯

Could not be happier to inaugurate one of our new kilns with mugs for Kim Roney’s fundraiser! Most of the team was in studio last week, so we paused our upfit/new production craziness to have a group decorating session. Very pleased with the results, both for the mugs and the kiln!

These and many other beautiful handmade pieces will be available at the fundraiser on August 27 at Garden Party in West Asheville. Proceeds go to help her find her campaign.
Be ‘bout it being better!

Once again I’m behind on updates, but we’re getting so much done it’s just hard to stop! The coming newsletter will be delayed but also longer with all the progress - we’ve had just about the whole crew in working over the last week, starting production as a way to begin fulfillment on wholesale orders, start some trainings, and see what is still needed. Today Zack, with essential assist from Sprinkle, finished building our second ware shelf cart (he’s 5’10”, for size reference). The ToothPig production area is in place and pigs are in all stages of making, and the shipping area is in place and we’re just awaiting some upgrades equipment. And the cherry on top of this glorious and crazy week is that our first glaze kiln is running - a light load for the first one but it includes some very special pots I can’t wait to see. As always, stay tuned!
