A personal New Years message for you…

 

As we ponder this upcoming new year, we’ve tried to put into words here our sincerest gratitude for all of our clay friends that have touched us in so many ways…

​

A big thank you and our biggest and best wishes to all the potters worldwide who follow van Gilder Pottery on Facebook, Instagram, and all the other social media outlets. Your ‘likes’ and comments mean so much to us!

​

And a huge, big thank you to all of you who have joined me this year for any and all of our new online workshops. And that includes all of you who have taken the time to respond to my What's Your Biggest Challenge? question. Your response is beyond valuable!

​

The van Gilder Clay Tools collection continues to reach toolboxes around the world… all made possible because of your valuable and encouraging support. And we thank you immensely for that.

​

And we send a special thank you to all our Maryland gallery visitors… and that’s YOU, the wonderful people who go out of your way to visit us on our mountain and share your love and passion for all things handmade.

 

Gratitude barely covers the feelings we have for all the support, comments, purchases and friendships you’ve provided us during the past year. And from our side? It goes without saying that we at the pottery wish for you and your loved ones the absolute best of good health and a safe journey through this upcoming new 2026 year!

​

With clay covered hands, we sincerely thank you all!

Bill and Kris
