Let me tell it to you straight, friends. The current state of affairs is NOT to my liking.
I have tried to do my bit to support Ukraine since Putin’s illegal invasion in 2022. Now, in addition to supporting Ukraine’s artisans by purchasing their work directly from them, I am making Ukraine-inspired pottery of my own as a fundraiser for ZeroLine.org. My husband recently traveled to Warsaw to join a convoy organized by ZeroLine to move non-lethal material aid from Warsaw and Berlin to Kyiv.
The other part of this story is that Hurricane Helene wiped out Highwater Clays in Asheville, NC, and they will not recover. I’ve been using Highwater’s Ellen Buff stoneware clay since I began my exploration of pottery way back in the late 1980s. In my search for new clays to use, I’ve made over 70 whiskey/wine cups with Ukrainian sunflowers and white storks with 8 different clay bodies and glaze combinations. I’ve also made about a dozen sunflower vases/tall cups, and have been making a few more complex pieces honoring the designs of Ukraine’s beloved folk artist, Maria Prymachenko.
50% of all sales on this part of my website will be directly donated to ZeroLine.org. I am holding a brick-and-mortar fundraising evening on Thursday, August 14th from 6-9pm at Mud Dauber Pottery in Earlysville Virginia. My husband will speak about his experience with ZeroLine and in Ukraine at 7pm. Refreshments will be served.
For those of you who cannot attend the August 14th event, I will happily make-to-order any favorites you see on this site even if they have sold out at the event. Rest assured, 50% of your purchase will be donated to Ukraine via ZeroLine. Please also consider a direct donation to ZeroLine.org. It is a fantastically-run non-profit organization listening to Ukrainians on the front line and delivering to them what they need most, including fast-acting bleed-stop bandages, ambulances and trucks, and lots and lots of computer equipment.
These cups are made with red clay and have yellow sunflowers on a blue ground. 2.5-3” tall by about 2.5” diameter.
