Introducing The Vamps Boutique

For the first time, I'll be selling my ceramics at a consignment shop. While I've been asked to do so before, I just never felt obliged for one reason or another. But when Mel asked me to be a part of the new project housed within a tattoo shop in Pittsburgh's "Little Italy" I jumped at the chance. I like the notion of selling my pots to other young people, and I know quite a few of my friends and peers get their tattoos from Tattoo Noir (especially from the punk-rock-loving, fellow-cyclist Jason Angst).

Because there are so many cyclists that frequent the tattoo shop, Mel requested a bunch of bicycle-themed decal pottery. She also saw some of my older work online, and fell in love with my chalices. Though they're kind of a pain in the butt to make, I obliged and whipped out a new batch just in time for the grand opening.

The Vamps Boutique is celebrating with a grand opening party on Saturday, July 3rd 2010. If you're in the neighborhood anytime after 7pm, stop by 4514 Liberty Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15224, or call 412-681-6881 for regular gallery hours.
