The Extras

The Extras

Small businesses are unique places in the same way families are unique. They are ubiquitous, have invisible inner worlds, and have their own crazy little ways of operating.

This creative studio is similar to my household in…. so many ways.

  • Tons of collaboration and logistics communications

  • Hours of behind-the-scenes cleaning, organizing, planning

  • Often a bit of good-natured bickering about who’s stuff is in the way and could they please move it.

  • Random stuff found in the sink.

  • People making mistakes and growing from them

  • Really excited people sharing new milestones

It. Is. Awesome.

Much as families develop, this little business is also at a place in our development where the basics are established and now we get to focus on the extras, the super-fun stuff. We get to dream a little, imagine a little, work towards a lot.

What vacations are to families, special events are to us at Create.

This fall’s new event?! A Studio-Wide Pottery Sale! We’re turning Create into a store for one day only, Saturday November 26, to highlight the amazing work our potters are making.

Fifteen potters in the sale started their ceramics journey with us at Create. They all came into the studio, during a pandemic, seeking something tactile and taking a plunge into a messy, frustrating, creative, addictive art form. We have had the immense pleasure of watching their work and craft begin and now flourish (with a few wonky pots in between). Now we have the huge privilege of watching them finesse and fine-tune their work. For most, this event will be their first foray into selling their work.

So, I humbly request that you make a point to start off your holiday shopping with us at Create. You’ll support this small woman-owned business, but mostly on November 26 you’ll support the brave artists who call Create their home studio. You’ll support new potters who have taken a risk and done something fun for themselves, their lives, the world.

Come see us on November 26, shop, and support our growing Create family.
