October seemed to blow by in a gust of autumn wind and now the holidays are upon us. We have been working hard behind the scenes for the past several weeks to create exciting new pieces and experiences for you. In this newsletter, we'll introduce you to our new holiday collection, new tiles, a new event, and new ways to interact with us. Welcome to NEW-vember at Ephraim Pottery!

Presenting the NEW ephraimpottery.com!
|
After several months of development and hundreds of hours of work, we are pleased to present our new website! We used feedback gathered over the past 3 years from the users of our site, along with the responses to the survey of online store customers we conducted earlier this year. Our goal was to make our site more user-friendly and intuitive. We invite you to check out the NEW ephraimpottery.com and let us know what you think.

| Winter Holiday Series piece |
We are pleased to present the Holiday Wreath Bowl, the 14th piece in our annual Winter Holiday Series. A bounty of pine cones, pine boughs, and berries decorates the rim of this gorgeous piece. The inside of the bowl is glazed in a different color that complements the berries. Two color options are available: Cranberry interior with matching berries; an amber interior with blue berries.The price is $328. More info
The Holiday Wreath Bowl is being created in a numbered edition of only 75 pieces (total for both color options). Orders will be accepted while quantities last. This piece can be ordered in our online store or by phone (1-888-704-POTS). We plan on shipping all of these pieces before Christmas.
Our Wisconsin and California galleries will also have a limited selection of this piece in stock later this month.

Ornaments are back! The three designs shown here - Icicle, Classic Spindle, and Birdhouse- are each available in 3 color options. These ornaments are available for order online or by phone (888-704-POTS) only. These limited editions are available while supplies last, so please place your order soon.
While these ornaments will not be available in our Wisconsin or California galleries, other ornaments will. Each store will be receiving a large selection of experimental ornaments. Our Wisconsin gallery will have ornaments in stock starting on Saturday and we're celebrating with a Holiday Ornament Party beginning at 10:00 a.m. Our California gallery already has some ornaments in stock and will have more available later this month. |

Our new small tiles make perfect gifts
|
We're now offering tiles in a new, smaller size! These three-inch-square tiles are available in eight different designs. Pair with a custom-made stand from our woodshop for a complete presentation. They're affordable and small enough to fit just about anywhere. At only $35 a tile plus $24 a stand, they make great gifts!

Change of leadership at our Lake Mills gallery
|
 After 6 years of heading up our Lake Mills gallery and a long career in high-end specialty retail, Barbara Voss is retiring from full-time work. We lucked out when Barbara agreed to move here from Chicago to manage our fledgling gallery. Her experience, expertise, and commitment helped us get our first retail store off the ground. Under Barbara's direction, the gallery grew into a destination for collectors and became an asset to our local community.
We will miss seeing Barbara on a regular basis, but fortunately she will be filling in at the gallery from time to time. Please join us in wishing Barbara the best in her new adventure!*
Nicole Cooke has been training with Barbara for the past two months and has moved into the manager position. We will formally introduce Nicole in our next newsletter, but if you're curious in the meantime, you can read her bio on our new website.
* Any messages for Barbara can be emailed to Kristin or mailed to our office and we will make sure that she gets them.

Springtime Iris Vase retired
One of our most popular pieces of all time has retired. The Springtime Iris Vase (item #E02) was introduced in 2011 and was offered in four colors, including Autumn Wheat as shown here. We recently sold our 500th Springtime Iris Vase and with that, the edition was closed and the piece was officially retired.
If you love the Springtime Iris motif, you might like the Springtime Iris Bowl (item #F14). The bowl was introduced in 2012 and is still available for order in two colors: Leaf Green and Autumn Wheat.
