Nov. 27, 2022: Terracotta End-of-November Newsletter

Terracotta Friends,

There’s just 15 days left.

Here’s what you can still do in our studios in time to gift for Christmas:

Holiday Card Lab:

Ever dreamed of making holiday cards from a wild abundance of supplies, and leaving the mess for someone else? Have we got good news for you…

Our Holiday Card Lab includes 2 hours in comfy seats around a large table for eight, and access to:

• Thousands of sheets of cardstock in a rainbow of colors, patterns, textures and sparkles

• Two die-cutting machines, plus hundreds of die-cutters and glue pens for handling and attaching tiny details

• Embossing plates to create custom textures on paper

• Embossing powder and embossing tools

• Ink pads in more colors than you knew existed

• A dozen holiday-themed wax seal options

• Hundreds of rubber stamps

• Those fancy edge-cutting scissors. Lots of them.

• WAY more punch-out cutters than I remembered buying

• Plus decals and embellishments galore

• Yes, you can totally make cards for other occasions, too! Just have fun and don’t run with the scissors!

Email us if you’d like to book the whole lab for a private event this holiday season!

Gift Cards:

Our studio is hopping before the holidays, and if that’s not your vibe, we totally get it. So here’s a discount code for 10% off gift card purchases from now until Dec. 6: ShopSmall10

Our gift cards are good for the entire 2023. This means you can get into the studio during a less busy time of year. Like January.

As a tiny business, every sale helps us expand our hours and offerings for our local community. Already this year we’ve been able to expand to 7 days a week, added seven wheels, additional space and art forms (hey, fused glass and paper arts!) and another clay sink. Amazing!!

Our Wish List:

We have a pugmill & mixer on our Studio Christmas Wish List this year, and if we can sell 67 gift cards by Dec. 1, we can get it in time for Santa to deliver. A pugmill & mixer would allow us the ability to recycle our scrap clay into usable clay almost instantly, saving us hours of staff time and sore arms and—ultimately—helping us keep our prices low and accessible for our whole community.

Thank you for your kind and enthusiastic support of our creative space! We are blown away by what we’ve been able to sculpt together already, and can’t wait to see what else is possible.

Cheers,

Candace
