We’ve teamed up with Luminology to create a limited-edition set of two-ounce soy candles in ten sophisticated scents, contained in a reusable porcelain vessel and packaged in a lovely wood box with a letterpressed lid. Features an unusual wood wick that crackles when lit, sustainably-sourced, phthalate-free soy wax and scents made with essential oils. You can expect to see our signature color palette peeking out and a hand-sanded unglazed exterior. The project is completely handcrafted from start to finish. Available in sets of two or four, it’s the perfect holiday gift.

We are launching this project at the Sunday Best Holiday Sale, which happens this coming weekend (December 4 + 5) at the Ace Hotel’s Cleaners space in downtown Portland. There will be twenty fantastic Portland designers selling textiles, ceramics, handbags, jewelry, cards and more — surely something for everyone on your list. We hope to see you there!

If you are woefully far from Portland or cannot make the trip downtown, never fear. The remaining candle sets will be available for order on Monday December 6th here on our website are available now — as a set of 2 or set of 4.

We are pleased to formally present our favorite collaboration to date, a limited edition run of 4 different vessels with the talented illustrator/stylist/optimist Shanna Murray. Her playful and charming letter work elevates our forms to a whole new level, and makes for the perfect holiday or housewarming gift.

We had an overwhelming response to our collaborative project over the weekend at Little Winter, selling out of most of the vessels in the first two hours — thank you! Shanna will have a limited run of them available at the end of the month at the Second Storie sale in Rochester, and we have a select few left that are now available for purchase here on our website and in our storefront- but hurry, they are going F-A-S-T. we’re completely sold out. Email us to get on a notification list about future editions.

This response has lead us to explore a more long-term partnership so we promise if you miss out now there will be something else spawned from our two brains in the future.

I’m loving this tapered-leg serving bowl (called the Plumage Serving Bowl) embellished by Kelly Britton-Andreini — the sweet feathers and hint of salmon around the rim is so fresh and spring-like. The first pieces are available to ship now in our Etsy shop and we are taking prerorders in our shop for the remaining 4 of each design.

We have the first designs by Alia Smith and Kelly Britton-Andreini coming out of a glaze fire tomorrow — the 3 new pieces by these lovely ladies are called the Nesting Bowl (by Alia), Fringe Pitcher, and Plumage Tripod Serving Bowl (both by Kelly). We are very excited about all of them and will have images and the pieces up for sale tomorrow afternoon. The image at left is a sneak preview of the Nesting Bowl design.

PTC+ is an ongoing collaborative project between Pigeon Toe Ceramics and our favorite local artists; each piece is hand-thrown and then hand-painted. Designs are sold as a limited series of 5 although each will be specially unique because of their completely handmade process.

We’d also like to welcome two online shops into the Pigeon Toed fold — Fey Handmade will be carrying pieces from the Askew and Raw collection online out of New Jersey, and Small Stump, based in California, will be carrying a selection of our planters with exclusive glaze combinations for their lovely arrangements. These stores will have their first pieces in stock in about three weeks! Three cheers!
