 Email me  (use JCPottery as subject) .
Just 2 short months to Christmas!
These  pieces are already on display for sale in my booths at Sanctuary of Stuff (Woodfin, NC), or Kress (downtown Asheville,NC) and
direct buying of some items is available on my ETSY.com site (seller name: joycreekpottery).
 Anything in stock on this site can be set up there as a listing and Paypal can be used to prepay both the piece and shipping if I know the address.
That is usually easiest for everyone on out of town pruchases .

Use the email link above and we'll communicate!

Custom orders & BRIDAL REGISTRY - Joy Creek Pottery : Whether you're getting hitched, or just making a fresh start,  pamper yourself with handmade dinnerware.

I was pleased to provide this service in May 08 for Dawn & Marcus' July 4th, 2008 Wedding.
They saw a sampling of my work at SOS, came to the web site, called, visited my studio, selected colors, sizes and design to meet their needs.

How does it work?
Once pieces and prices are finalized (quoted and accepted), you pay a 1/4 materials deposit on the order total,
and I begin production of your set. Remember to include serving pieces, and other kitchen basics as well.
You sign a simple agreement to pay for any  "ungifted" ordered items remaining at completion, with the original deposit 
refunded to you if all pieces are purchased as a gift.

Standard delivery/production time is 2 months, so WE NEED TO START WELL BEFORE THE WEDDING DATE.
Your guests can view, choose and purchase your gift in a special Wedding Gallery on my site, without leaving home.
Just send out the email link I provide, and gift buying becomes simple!
I accept Paypal (will send an invoice when they email me their choices), cash or check.

Via email, I'll keep you posted as pieces are paid for, and keep a spread sheet of who has "gifted" what, which you'll receive
at time of delivery/pickup as well!

If you're local or within driving distance, avoid shipping costs with studio pickup of your entire order.
(Asheville is a great city for a weekend getaway.)

Email me (use JCPottery as subject) if you would like more information, or call me at 828-777-2337.
I look forward to helping you stock your kitchen with beautiful, functional pottery you'll be pleased to use everyday, not just for special occasions.
Joy

Your Bio

WELCOME!
I'm a studio potter in Weaverville, North Carolina; just north of Asheville in the glorious mountains of Western NC.
I do functional pottery and art for practical living, currently firing cone 6 oxidation in an electric kiln.

This site is a way to see more of my work than you would in any gallery.
Just double click on the photos or gallery titles, for albums of past and presently available work. Double clicking again will make the photos larger, and then larger still.
Enjoy browsing, and consider that I love CUSTOM orders as much as the recipients will! Weddings, anniversaries, showers, graduations, college send offs, new family pets; are all opportunities to surprise and thrill your friends.
Pottery is special and can make everyday in the kitchen feel special as well.

Contact me by phone or email with orders and/or questions: 828-777-2337
Email me (use JCPottery as subject)
My work can be seen and purchased locally at SANCTUARY OF STUFF(SOS)in Woodfin, and KRESS EMPORIUM in Asheville. Check out those galleries below for directions.

Enjoy and God Bless,
Joy Creek Pansiera
