Plaid Friday All Weekend THIS WEEKEND

Hello Friends, Family & Fellow Celts~
Our Studio Warming is happening THIS WEEKEND.
If you're wondering what to do with the relatives or dreading the idea of being trampled in the crowds at the big box stores chose the far superior option: come out to the country and shop with us!
We've got lots of parking in a beautiful setting and can offer the warm glow that only comes from shopping with folks you know and giving handmade this holiday. (that glow might be enhanced by our mead and/or mulled cider).

Please, even if you can't attend yourself, pass this information along to anyone you can think of who might be interested... your help with my inept attempt at viral marketing is very much appreciated!

Hope to see you this weekend or later in the holiday season.
Remember, everything tastes better from a Dancing Pig Pot!
Love,
Virginia aka Dancing Pig's procrastinating potter

Dancing Pig Pottery invites you to join us for our Holiday Studio Warming.
Friday Saturday & Sunday November 25, 26 & 27 from 10 til 6 each day.

We’re celebrating PLAID FRIDAY all weekend with plenty of awesome pottery fresh from the kiln.

Tuatha will be with us as well, with wonderful Celtic jewelry, cards, stained glass
& beautiful handcrafted rustic wood hooks, chairs & walking sticks.

Also: Mead kits and samples of mead, plus plenty of hot cider, cookies, cheese & good cheer.

Put on your plaid and put our address into your gps or mapquest:
446 Railroad Lane Orrtanna PA 17353  
(just outside of Gettysburg PA, only 45 minutes from Fredrick MD)

If you wear plaid, we'll give you a 10% discount! Free hugs no matter what you wear!

*Plaid Friday is the opposite of Black Friday. Instead of fighting the crowds in the big box stores, shop small, local & diverse retailers, folks who make what they sell & are vital parts of their communities.

If you can’t make it on Thanksgiving Weekend, we’re doing it all again for last minute shoppers

Saturday & Sunday December 17 & 18 from 10 til 6 both days

Details about other shopping opportunities: www.dancingpig.com

Also: Maryland and Northern Virginia Folks: we've got a closer shopping option for you

The first two weekends in December, we're taking this act on the road~

So come on out & enjoy some hot cider, good cheer and a warm welcome as you enjoy shopping with integrity & much, much better parking than you'll find at the malls!

Art of Fire is located at 7901 Hawkins Creamery Rd, Laytonsville, MD 20882

Plaid Friday & our Studio Warmings!

Hey Friends! We've had a moving experience this summer, by which i mean we moved the studio from west central WVa to the rolling hills just west of Gettysburg PA.

The studio, not yet cleaned up for your visit!

And then we got busy what with Pennsic and Maryland Renaissance Festival. Things have calmed down a bit now that those shows are over and i've finally gotten time to set up a studio opening. In fact, we're going to have 2, cause we know how frantic the holidays can be scheduling-wise.

The first time will be on Thanksgiving Weekend. In fact, we'll be a part of Plaid Friday, a national movement that's all about shopping locally &  supporting diverse merchants. To quote from their website:
"Plaid Friday celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses. Plaid Friday is the fun and enjoyable alternative to the big box store "Black Friday", and is designed to promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays." 

So, we'll be setting up shop in our new studio, which is only 45 minutes from Frederick MD. We'll have plenty of awesome pottery fresh from the kiln and Tuatha will be with us as well, with her usual selection of wonderful Celtic jewelry, cards, stained glass and beautiful handcrafted rustic wood hooks, chairs & walking sticks. 

All of this is happening Friday Saturday & Sunday November 25, 26 & 27 from 10 til 6 each day. 

If you wear plaid, we'll give you a 10% discount! 

Come see our wonderful new studio and enjoy some hot cider & mead as well as some tasty treats to eat. And there is a wonderful Christmas tree farm just down the road from us not to mention downtown Gettysburg which has some wonderful galleries and local shops (& great restaurants). I'm telling you, it's the perfect anti-black (aka PLAID) Friday destination.

So put on your plaid and put our address into your gps: 446 Railroad Lane Orrtanna PA 17353

We can't wait to show off our new studio!

If you can't manage to come visit on Thanksgiving weekend, we're doing it all again just before Yule, for all of our last minute shopping friends:

Just Saturday and Sunday this time: December 17 & 18 from 10 til 6 both days.
