Reminder this Sunday is our Ceramics Seconds Sale!
Reminder this Sunday is the "2nd Sunday Ceramics Seconds Sale! at the SCM Art Center 11:00am - 5:00pm
On the second Sunday of November (that’s November 11th), the Santa Cruz Mountains Art Center will be having a sale of pottery seconds.
What’s a second? It’s pretty subjective. You see, potters are pretty picky people. So the color may not be what they wanted, or be different from the others they made. Maybe the glaze dripped a bit. The pot is smaller than they hoped. Or the lid is a little loose. It could be any of a dozen tiny “flaws” that afflict handmade items.
Despite whatever it is the potter didn’t like, we’re pretty sure you’ll think they’re beautiful. And we’re certain you’ll like the prices! So come on down and take your pick. And thank those picky potters!
When: Sunday, November 11, 11:00 am—5:00 pm
Where: Santa Cruz Mountains Art Center, 9341 Mill Street, Ben Lomond, CA 95005
What: Great deals on great handmade pottery
