Dancing Pig Shirts For Everyone!!!

How cool is that?!
Yep! My friend Rob and I designed the first ever Dancing Pig Shirt.
A cool orange 100% cotton, printed in the US of A, with very fun dancing piggies on both the front and back.

The front of the shirt has 4 colours & 3 pigs w/ mugs. A conga line!!!



The back of the shirt is just one colour, with one pig & our awesome shop motto: Buy Two. Get More.








and we've come up with a cool, pre release special. If you buy the shirt before the end of July, we'll sign & number your shirt. Be the first kid on your block with a cool, personalized custom shirt from the awesomest potter you know!!!
added bonus: Anytime you show up in our booth wearing our shirt you'll get a 10% discount on anything you buy from us! That's right, a lifetime Dancing Pig Discount~ how can you pass that up, i ask you?
Buy the shirt now at my Etsy store <--click there to go directly to the listing for the shirt and while you're there, buy some pots too.
Remember:Buy Two, Get More!

I gotta go make pots for Pennsic.
Read all about my pre Pennsic Panic on my twitter feed. And become our fan on Facebook.
We're techno potters now, baby!
Next up on the technological front: a feed from my Etsy store to this blog. Hopefully coming soon.
Back into the mud for me.

Festival Season is in full swing!

And fast approaching is one of the highlights of our year, the sweet 16th annual Potomac Celtic Festival!
It's a great good time, an amazing site (& sight as well) full of fantastic crafters, great music & overwhelming Celtic Spirit. Even if you're only Celtic on St. Patrick's Day, you need to come experience this festival. And, buy some pots too, of course!
It's happening June 13 & 14 this year,on the green next to the Morven Park Mansion and Museum in Leesburg, VA.
In addition to our wonderful selves, there will be all sorts of amazing artists there, several of whom rarely come to festivals in the mid-Atlantic region: Capall Glas Studio and Wild Ravens and Tuatha Gallery and Hayman Celtic Jewelry (Michael's coming all the way from Louisiana!). And then there will be many of the great artists from the Maryland Renassiance Festival: Crafty Celts and Wolfstone Kilt Company and Potomac Leatherworks and Misc. Oddiments... I could go on, but you get the idea. Check out PCF's merchant page for links, cause it's late & i'm tired!

So, one last bit of news from us. We've got a new line of pots! They don't really have a name yet, but it'll have something to do with the moons and stars that are the decorative motif. Here's a sneak peak: pretty cool, huh?! I'm gonna have lots of these new guys at Potomac Celtic Festival (she types in her best come hither font) and hopefully there will be some for sale on my Etsy site (which, as we all recall and have bookmarked, is www.dancingpigpots.etsy.com )as well. Soon. No, really. Tomorrow maybe.
But tonight, i'm done. I'm gonna get to sleep, to dream of pots and Celts playing under the trees at PCF. And i hope to see many of you there, then.
Tired and muddy blessings & hugs,

Ready or not, we're hitting the road

Yep, it's that time of year again. The trees are budding, our river is rising, our back yard is (according to our @ursapup at least) "a glorious mudpit and we're getting ready to (say it in yer best fake Scots accent, laddie) "Hit ta Rrrrrroad" as we seek fame and fortune (well, really, just fortune) (or, if i'm completely honest, enough money for gas, food, the electric bill and the next show's vendor fee) by selling our pottery and leatherwork throughout the mid-Atlantic.
(to the right, our Bug Dog is packing up for a road trip!)

First up, the great Loch Norman Scottish Festival is THIS WEEKEND!!! April 18 & 19 in beautiful Huntersville NC. This is a great show & we have an awesome time in the historic area- it takes a bit of effort to find us, but it's worth the walk. There are several other cool merchants up on our hill, including Crafty Celts and, if we get lucky, Curiosities Made will be there as well!

Sadly, we aren't going to be at the Spring Open House and Studio Tour in Laytonsville MD this coming weekend. Easter has messed up my calendar and i don't have enough pots to stock two shows. But never fear, we'll be back in Laytonsville at Art of Fire for the December Open House!!!

There are lots of other shows looming on our horizon, including two FAIRIE FESTIVALS. Please check our calendar page (www.pigfuturescalendar.blogspot.com) for all the details, and then come on out to play with us! We're planning on a very busy and fun filled spring and we hope we can see YOU soon, at a Festival Near You.


Of course, as always, if you can't make it to a festival, please shop with Dancing Pig online in our Etsy Store: http://dancingpigpots.etsy.com
and don't forget our sister store aka stuff made by my blue eyed, redneck Indian husband and his tribal brother: http://GreenManLeather.etsy.com
