For the month of September, Maine Potters Market will be celebrating the season with potter Cathy Schroeder Hammond's colorful party ware.

For those who have been waiting for more of those special pieces that Cathy makes less often, now is the chance to find her lovely butter dishes and cream and sugar sets, along with some brand new special occasion pots. Her new cake plates are perfect for entertaining at a special event. Her fancy chip and dip sets and 3-way condiment dishes with little spoons make delightful serving pieces. 

Cathy's signature glazes are bright colors that blend into one another, and her shapes are inspired by the organic forms of growing plants. She had a great time making some pieces that she has wanted to try for years, and hopes that you will enjoy them also as you get ready for the dinner-entertainment season!
