[Sca-cooks] clay pie dishes

[Kerri Martinsen]

The potter is Eadric Fahram(sp) (Eadric the Potter) in Atlantia (Maryland).  His email is rvanrens AT hotmail.com if you would like to contact him directly.  I know he is planning on merchanting at Ponte Alto's Love & Beauty next weekend if anyone is in the area.  

The pie pan is more like a deep dish, straight sides pan - un glazed.  Everything he makes from mugs to baking dishes has been well researched.  And he is happy to take specific commissions too.

Vitha, friend of the potter.
