| Winter 2008 In this Newsletter: 2007 Highlights - Photo Contest! Back To The Studio - Custom Orders - New Website Features Although I must admit to feeling a slight instinct towards hibernation, it's just been too beautiful a winter here in New Hampshire . . . with the sun shining through the studio windows, the clay has been calling and the urge to create has surpassed the desire for a post-holiday break! So I'm back at it; looking forward to what 2008 will bring . . . Highlights from 2007 So many of you have inquired, and I'm really pleased to report another excellent year for Becca Van Fleet Pottery! There were inspiring travels and countless hours of hard, rewarding work, as well as an exciting mix of new and familiar faces at the studio sales and shows . . . and it's that in particular that makes it all worth it! I'm so grateful to all of my wonderful customers. Together, you bought over 1190 pieces of pottery! That includes almost 425 mugs, and 260 bowls, and doesn't even touch the 330 magnets that found their way out into the world. Wow, I knew I felt busy . . . :) Thanks again. Oh, and my favorite sale of the last year just might have been a neighbor who showed up in a driving December snowstorm on his telemark skis, bought pots and filled his backpack for the two-mile uphill trek home. I always knew you were an amazing bunch! First Annual Photo Contest I'm excited to announce the first Becca Van Fleet Pottery Photography Contest! How do your "Becca Pots" get used at home? Maybe you look particularly good using your mug, or your table looks incredibly spiffy all decked out in dinnerware . . . whatever the case may be, capture it photographically and you'll have a shot at winning $75 to spend on my pottery, as well as 10% off your purchases for the rest of the 2008 season! Entries must be received by April 30th, 2008 . . . details are available at the link below; get snapping! :) Oh, and be sure to forward this link on to all the lucky gift- recipients on your list. Back Into The Studio . . . Ordering Custom Work It's a great time of year to be experimenting and taking a bit more time in the studio to "play" . . . without the pressure of shows looming, I feel more like an artist and less like a factory. So it's also a great time for me to be working on new, custom designs for weddings, or even a new dinnerware set for you and your family. While I've already got a handful of fun projects, I'd love you to share your ideas with me- thinking ahead helps us both! (Getting married? Learn more about registering with me for your wedding.) I have also recently updated the Gallery with new images of work from the last few months. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement!
