New Compost Crock Design, Look Out New York!

           A fun thing about having 2 people who can throw pottery (and now 3 as my brother stays with us for a few weeks and has been enjoying messing around on the wheel) is that you can help each other when you’re “stuck.”  Javan has been prolific with his compost bins recently (see the most recent ones at http://www.etsy.com/shop/minerrevolutions) and yet the lids were taking FOREVER to make.  I decided that I wanted to sit down at the wheel and give it a spin.  Now granted I didn’t come up with the idea all by myself, but in thinking through it I suggested we add a non-pottery knob instead of the knob made of pottery which solved lots of the problems Javan had been thinking through.  Plus, I think we have a really great product with the non-ceramic knobs and they’re more personalizable!  We are really excited about them and after some customer feedback (thanks mom!) we have decided to add a leather handle to better carry the compost bins out.  So, go check them out, especially if you’re from New York (where Mayor Bloomberg is working to spread composting across the city)!
