Friends and Community
Chester River Pottery thrives on the support of our local community, and we’re committed to giving back. This year, we’ll host pottery workshops and open studio days, inviting you to explore the magic of clay firsthand. We’re also excited to collaborate with fellow local artists and businesses on events and co-branded products. Additionally, we’ll partner with schools and organizations to promote pottery classes and demonstrations, fostering creativity in the next generation.
Outreach
We want to bring Chester River Pottery’s story to a broader audience in 2025. Through captivating social media posts, including behind-the-scenes content and customer stories, we’ll showcase the heart and soul behind our creations. Targeted advertising campaigns will help us connect with both online and local audiences, while our monthly newsletter will keep you informed with curated content, pottery tips, and exclusive deals.
Expanding Access
Let us know about your favorite shops, boutiques, and fairs. Expanding access to our pottery is a key goal for 2025. We plan to forge partnerships with local boutiques and gift shops, making finding our work in stores more effortless than ever. Look for us at regional art fairs, farmers’ markets, and other events where you can meet us in person and shop our latest collections. And for those who prefer online shopping, we’re working to enhance our website for a seamless and enjoyable experience.
Earth-Friendly Practices
Caring for the environment is an integral part of our mission. In the coming year, we’ll focus on sourcing eco-friendly materials and adopting greener production practices.
