Akiko's Pottery Summer Open House

The days are long, the studio has been busy, and I've got fresh work ready to find a home. Which means it's time to open the doors again.

I'd love for you to join me for my Summer Open House — come browse new pieces, sip some housemade sake, snack a little, and maybe let a bowl or two follow you home.

This open house I've been pouring a lot of love into black glaze on black clay — oval slab bowls, slab soup bowls, 10.5" slab plates — and I'll have a limited edition run of pieces in a black + silver + grey tone that won't be restocked once they're gone.

That said, there'll be plenty of other work on hand too, so come with an open mind and see what speaks to you.

I'll have housemade sake poured and snacks out, so settle in, wander a little, and try very hard not to pick up every bowl and whisper “you're coming home with me.”

Bring a friend or two and come say hi. I hope to see you there!

Note on Parking: You’re welcome to park on the street but please be mindful and do not block any of the neighboring home driveways.

Akiko's Pottery Winter Open House!

The chill is setting in and the studio is feeling extra cozy, so I’m opening my doors for a winter afternoon of handmade pottery, warm drinks, and very tasty treats. I’d love for you to join me for my Winter Open House.

Come browse my handmade pottery and pick up pieces perfect for gifting, hosting, or simply treating yourself because you survived another year. I’ll have homemade sake for you to sip while you wander, and try very hard not to pick up every bowl and whisper, “you’re coming home with me”.

My friend Matt Tinder will be here selling his incredible holiday Stollen. If you already know his Stollen, you know why this is exciting. If you don’t, consider this your chance to join the fan club - he’ll be spinning up unique flavours like Citron Cocoa Nib Coffee, Matcha Pistachio, and Persimmon Almond Date, among others. You can even pre-purchase your loaf so you don’t risk going home empty handed, or resort to stealin’ someone else’s Stollen.

>>>> Preorder your Stollen here! <<<<

Matt’s offered to bring some extras so if you miss the pre-order window, you may be lucky enough to purchase one at my open house, but who really wants to rely on luck when Stollen is involved?

Either way, I hope you’ll wander over and pop in. Whether you’re popping in to shop, snack, sip, or simply say hi, I’d be so happy to see you. Bring a friend or two and warm up with us. Hope you can make it!

Date: Sunday, December 21st
Pottery Open House Time: 12:00 - 4:00pm
Stollen Pickup Time: 10:00 - 2:00pm
Where: 10847 3rd Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98168
