We are pleased to announce that six new pieces of pottery and three new tiles have been added to our online store. As you can see, the creative juices have been flowing in the Ephraim studio!

In keeping with this year's theme of blending the old and the new, long-time collectors will notice that some familiar themes have been reinterpreted in new ways. We have also added companion pieces to the Sleeping Bear paperweight and Birdwatcher tile.  

Experimentation with our new tile line has been ongoing. In an effort to standardize our tile sizes, we have redesigned

The new tiles are 3"x6"

the Birdwatcher and Apple Time tiles into a 3" x 6" format. These replace the versions that were introduced earlier this year. This should make it easier to create attractive groupings of compatible tiles in the future. We've also been working on developing frames and stands for our tiles, and standardizing the sizes of the tiles in our line will make that process easier.

A mailer featuring the pottery and tiles that have been introduced since April will be sent to our postal mailing list soon, most likely by the end of next week. Those of you who have received catalogs in past years will notice that older pieces are not shown in the mailer. In order to give each new piece the attention it deserves, we have chosen to feature the new pieces exclusively. All of the previously introduced pieces that are still available are viewable on ephraimpottery.com.

And speaking of ephraimpottery.com, those of you who are familiar with our online store will notice that the names of some of the collections/groupings have changed. We hope that these more transparent names make it easier for both long-time and new customers to find pieces that they're looking for.
