studio changes

i appologize for my absense, but it is with good reason!

recently tara informed me that she will be leaving our studio, which makes me sad, but also gives my little business room to grow.  i've been brainstorming new products to offer, gathering supplies, making the first-round versions to see if it could be put into production and enjoying the time i have left with tara and little meadow in the studio. 

i will have a meeting tomorrow with the trio-in-charge to present my new ideas and convince them that i'll be able to maintain the studio on my own, especially since we just expanded! 

i also, finally, found a clothing rack with a small enough footprint to fit on the floor of karma rags, the vintage clothing store at the flying monkey.  this means, starting tomorrow, i'll have a rack of clothes for you to check out and try on here locally! 

and remember, at the end of this month, all the book currently for sale at kitty's vintage books will expire and will not be relisted.  if you are in the market for vintage books, please shop now, as i will be closing the store!

Designer Showcase: Delftware

this will be a new recurring post, showcasing different designers, their history and products!

today's designer is: Delft Pottery

Delftware, or Delft pottery, is a blue and white pottery made in and around Delft in the Netherlands and the tin-glazed pottery made in the Netherlands since the 16th century.

Modern Delftware is a type of pottery which is glazed in white, usually decorated with metal oxides. Delftware includes pottery objects of all kinds such as plates, ornaments and tiles.

Delftware ranged from simple household items - plain white earthenware with little or no decoration - to fancy artwork. Most of the Delft factories made sets of jars, pictorial plates illustrated with religious motifs, native Dutch scenes with windmills and fishing boats, hunting scenes, landscapes and seascapes.

Sets of plates were made with the words and music of songs; dessert was served on them and when the plates were clear the company started singing. The Delft potters also made tiles in vast numbers over a period of two hundred years; many Dutch houses still have tiles that were fixed in the 17th and 18th centuries.
