Fired Figments for the Holidays

It’s gift giving time. . .

. . . and if you are wondering where to find Fired Figments for your friends and family this year, you’re in the right place! This year is a little different than past years for reasons known to my Patreon members, but not announced publicly, yet. I will not be having an online restock before the holidays, but there are still some ways to get my pottery this month.

1. The Gallery in the Valley

I’ve collaborated again with Jopeydopes to bring her amazing designs to ceramics! All month long you can shop our collaboration at The Gallery in the Valley in Geneseo, NY. I’ll be at the Art Party there on Friday, December 13th from 6:00 - 8:00pm if you want to say hi! Can’t make it to Geneseo? You can shop some of my pieces online through the 2024 Holiday Gift Guide.

2. Running to Places Giving Auction

Support local theatre and get a limited edition Fired Figments mug at the same time! Look out for this “Let it Snow Mug” in the auction starting December 8th. Only two were ever made and YOU could own one of them!

3. Mystery Mug Sale

When I bought my year supply of glazes this fall, I decided to treat myself to some new colors too! It's time for me to experiment with glaze combinations and a chance for you to get discounted mugs. Going into 2025, I probably won't have classic mugs online very often. I'll be saving them for the Renaissance Faire and keeping my more unique, sculptural pottery online. This is your chance to be the first to have my classic mugs in a brand new color!

Classic mugs generally sell for $37 plus shipping. Mystery mugs start at $35 and when you buy more, you save more - up to $10 off per mug! You can find them in the secret shop exclusive to Patreon members. Just join any paid tier for the link, plus other special perks and discounts too!

4. The Online Shop

Last, but not least, there is still the online shop! I may not be adding more to inventory right now, but I do have fairy pots and pocket dragons perfect for stocking stuffers and some one-of-a-kind fantasy sculptures for a show-stopping gift!

Thanks for taking the time to read through this little update! I hope you have a warm and relaxing end to the year. I have some exciting projects in mind for 2025 and look forward to sharing them with you!

Restock Preview for May 24th

New dragon mugs, bottles, and mini-mug sets are coming to the store on Wednesday, May 24th. Want to know the exact time? Make sure you’re signed up for emails so you can be one of the first to get to the shop when they release!

Here’s a look at everything coming to the shop:

A New Dragon Design!

I’ve had this idea in my head for SO LONG and I finally got a chance to make one! I’m working on many more for the New York Renaissance Faire, but if you want to be one of the first to get one, you can join the Fan(g) Club for as little as $3 to get access to the secret store! Dragon dishes are the exclusive May pre-order, so you still have a few days left! And guess what? You can choose custom colors too!

Mug Project Updates

The first batch of Mug Project pre-orders were shipped this week and I am in love with the results! Plus, with the help of these orders, the future home of Fired Figments at the New York Renaissance Faire is 28% funded - huzzah!

There is still time to get in on the second batch of pre-orders and to continue helping my Ren Faire dreams come true! The pre-orders will remain at the $30 discounted price until April 16th when they’ll return to $35 - so shop now to save!

Check out these glaze combinations from the first batch!

There are still so many other fantastic glaze combinations left to try!

"Danger Jelly" Release Preview

You're exploring the dark corridors of an abandoned castle with some adventurous friends. As you turn the corner, you bump into something gooey and your arm becomes stuck. In the torchlight you see your potential future - skulls and bones float undissolved in the ooze. But you also notice lost treasures - legendary weapons, spell books, jewels, and more! Will you run for your life, or fight for the gold?

Immerse yourself in game night with a truly one-of-a-kind treasure - a hand-sculpted goblet. Each goblet starts as a wheel-thrown cup and stem, which is altered to have a "cube" shaped rim. It is then brought to life through hand-painted details and a custom glaze treatment to create the layers of "ooze."

---

New Product Release!

You may have seen the prototypes of this design on TikTok or Instagram. The first two went to Patreon members, but the public release is finally ready! Since every goblet is truly different, I thought I should post a preview so you can choose which cube calls to you the most. Scattered amongst the cubes are swords, axes, arrows, daggers, shields, crowns, jewels, coins, skulls, bones, harps, lutes, flutes, books, potions, and more! My favorite might be the gold goblets on the cube goblet - haha!

The “danger jelly” goblets (inspired by a popular fantasy game monster) will be available this weekend. Make sure to sign up for emails or check your inbox to find out the exact release time so you can snag the goblet you want most!

What to Expect

These goblets are being offered at an introductory price of $125 plus shipping. Based on how this release goes, this may be the only release of this design, or future releases may be closer to $150. For a reminder on why I charge shipping separately, read this blog post. If you’re curious on how I landed on this price, you can watch my new YouTube video breaking down my pricing structure.

Thank you for taking a look! I’ve had this idea in my head for over two years and am so excited they finally exist in the world!

March Restock Preview

Watch the pieces of this weekend’s restock come fresh out of the kiln!

Show season is approaching, so my studio time needs to turn to building inventory. Mindfulness Mugs while be available occasionally as ready-to-ship pottery, but pre-orders might be over for the year (if they return, it will be after October.) Plan your pre-order with this guide:

Sizes:
12 - 16 oz.
16 - 20 oz.
20 - 25 oz.

Details:
Single-sided (one labyrinth) $50
Double-sided (two labyrinths) $60
Smooth Handle
Bumpy Handle (for more tactile play)

Colors:

*PLEASE NOTE: The "Earth" glaze uses a blue glaze that is very reactive to firing time, location in the kiln, temperature, and cooling speed. This means it can appear in a range of colors from a reddish brown at the edges, to a mottled purplish blue, and even an almost white light blue. I think it is beautiful in all its forms, but it might not be the best choice if you have a very specific vision in mind.
