Spring is Here — Inside Maine Pottery Co.
Hi friends,
We've been busy. The stores are getting their spring makeover — new shelves going up, boxes arriving daily, that feeling when everything starts to come together. One of the things I love most about what we do is finding talented local makers and artists and giving their work a home alongside ours. This season might be our best yet for that.

Calling all local artists — we just launched a brand new Co-Op Gallery at our Edgecomb location. Come be part of it.

Here's some of what's new this month — all made by people we know and believe in.

And between you and me — we've been having some really exciting conversations with a local potter about keeping our pottery tradition alive. I can't say much yet. But I will say this: I haven't been this excited about something in a long time.
More soon. Way more.
