Renegade Craft Fair
This weekend is the 6th annual Renegade Craft Fair, which honestly is the best craft fair around. I'll be surrounded by my lovely friends - Marcie McGoldrick, Kristen Aronsson, A.S.I.S, Foxy & Winston, DeLong Ceramics & Press, Raeburn Ink and John Murphy!
It's in McCarren Park in Williamsburg Brooklyn and is Saturday & Sunday (June 5th & 6th) from 11-7. We'll be closest to the entrance on Lorimer & Driggs.
More info is on their website too! http://www.renegadecraft.com/brooklyn-faq
As always, we'll have deals, samples, prototypes and lots of fun things.
No Gift Fair for us!
Hi all - for the first time in 4 years, we are skipping this August's Gift Fair. It's nothing personal, in fact, I will miss talking to everyone from the buyers to the exhibitors. We're just trying some new ways of selling, marketing and promoting Perch! But we do have new prodcuts that are available now and there is an updated wholesale price list on the info page.
Holiday Sales!
Perch! Facebook page
We can keep you up to date on what's new and what's shipping if you join us here!
Studio Sale!
We're having a Spring Studio Sale just in time to pick up a nice gift for your Mom! Next Sunday May 1st from 12-5 our Red Hook studio will be open with LOTS of ceramics - vases, bowls, birds, planters, candles and more...
201 Richards Street #207 between Van Dyke & Coffey in Red Hook Brooklyn.
If you are looking for something specific, give us a call and we can probably arrange to have one for you!
Renegade Craft Fair
Renegade Craft Fair at Macarren Park in Williamsburg. 11-7 both days. We'll be on the Lorimer Street side of the park - there are over 300 crafty vendors there!
Gift Fair
We don't have a booth at the Gift Fair this year but a few Perch pieces will be in the Polli booth - in the Details section booth 8115. Our newly designed Early Bird should be there!
Moving!!!!!
We're moving the studio! It's quite a job but we have a new awesome place on Pier 41 in Red Hook, Brooklyn. We'll have a showroom space and will be open to the public - soon! So our production will be a little slow from August 23 through the beginning of September. Call if you have a question!
Perch! Showroom
Here we are: MAP We'll be open weekends 10-5 or so and anytime by appointment. Since we've moved the whole operation here, there will be someone here most of the time. Stay updated here!
We're on the North Side of the Pier under the big 319. Going into the holiday season, we'll be more consistently open WEEKDAYS and out doing craft fairs on the weekends.
Holiday Craft Sales!
It is that time of year again and if you enjoy buying your gifts in a personal way, straight from the designers and crafters who make them, stop by one of our sales. All of these have tons of gifts, goodies and food!
November 26th & 27th Support Small Business Saturday at the Brooklyn Flea! back inside at One Hanson Place 10-5 every weekend.

Supermarket Video
The cool guys who run Supermarket shot some videos of Brooklyn designers in their studios, doing what they do. I think it looks great and was really happy to be a part of it! See it here.
Inside the Studio
Here is a link to our Flickr page and a link to our Facebook page.
Gift Fair 2011
Although I really miss participating in the Gift Fair we are skipping this one too! I'll be there poking my head around and talking to all my buddies so you may see me but not in a booth. But we of course have some new things and an updated wholesale price list coming soon.
Design Milk - Deconstruction
Here is an awesome article about our re-design of the Early Bird on the Design Milk blog. It's coming soon and it looks great!
Oppurtunity!
I am seeking the most perfect person to help out in our Brooklyn studio.
What I need: someone to help utilize the activity on Etsy and communicate what is going on here via Facebook & Twitter. Help keep our little company up to date in the cyberworld! You wouldn't be starting from scratch - we have our followers, just no time to tweet. Help around the studio and manning our little shop would be a bonus.
What you need: access to a ceramics studio. Recent graduate? Thinking of starting a line? We have three kilns and regular deliveries from ceramics suppliers plus tools, some materials and space. The time/work trade all depends on the person.
If this sounds like you - email me! amy@perchceramics.com
Sneak Peak on Design Sponge
I'm really honored to have our home featured on Design Sponge. See it here.
Design Glut interview

Blog
I've started a blog showing pages and pages of my lists and notebooks. It's called Perch Notebook.
NYIGF
We'll be at the Gift Fair January 30 - February 3 booth #5523 downstairs in Handmade. See ya!
Intern Help
We could use some help aroung the studio, everything from mixing clay to packing and shipping, we're looking for a hands on type of person interested in learning about how things work in a small artist production studio. We're located in Red Hook Brooklyn, which is an awesome neighborhood of artists, craftspeople and creative types. We are super flexible on timing - just looking for a day or two per week. Email me if you're interested!
Our new website!
We are super happy to launch our new site! As you may or may not have noticed, the new address is perchceramics.com as opposed to perchdesign.net. Both will get you here! We still have our old emails that end in perchdesign.net too.
