100% recycled clay. All the scraps, trimmings, broken pieces and rejects get put through a laborious and time consuming process to turn them back into usable clay. It's beautifully imperfect. Because we use many different clay bodies in our work, the reclaim clay is a mix of them all, so it gets some incredible marbling, speckling, and uncontrollable inconsistency. That's what makes it so special. I've made a lot of very cool one of a kind pieces with it, which will be available in person only at this weekend's Mother's Day Makers Market at @makerscentralny We'll be hosting 20 other incredible makers inside of our big Tarrytown warehouse, so bring the whole family and make a day of it! To stay in the whole turning trash into treasure theme, we also pulled out our pile of broken pieces and painstakingly repaired them using the ancient Japanese technique of Kintsugi. Because we should all be a bit more proud of our flaws and imperfections. Doors open Saturday morning at 10am sharp Don't forget to bring your reusable bags! Saturday 10-5 & Sunday 10-4 84 Central ave Tarrytown NY

We're a lot better at making markets than we are at making videos. We promise. This weekend's 5th, 6th, or 7th annual Mother's day market is going to be the best one yet! Saturday 10-5 & Sunday 10-4 84 Central ave Tarrytown NY

I've made some very special limited edition reclaim pieces for this weekend's market. There is a certain amount of waste produced during the making of our pieces- Trimmings, throwing slop, broken pieces, etc. It's quite a laborious and time consuming process to turn it back into usable clay. Honestly it would be much cheaper to just buy new clay, but i can't bring myself to throw it out. So, over the years we've accumulated tons(literal tons) of this scrap clay. Once processed, we call it 'Reclaim'. We'll use it for spacific orders from time to time, but the issue is that since it's a mixture of 3-4 different clay bodies, it's very unpredictable and has a ton of variation. This can be frustrating if we need perfection and consistency, but if we're willing to relinquish some control, it can be surprisingly beautiful. Over the past few weeks we've been making a pretty sizeable dent in our stock of reclaim clay. Over the next few days I'll post some of the pieces we've been making. They'll be available exclusively at our market this weekend. Saturday 10-5 & Sunday 10-4 84 Central ave Tarrytown NY As usual doors open at 10am sharp. Get here early for first dibs Please be patient and kind to your fellow shoppers, and don't forget to bring your reusable bags!

UPDATE: The masked muralist has been identified as none other than @keelyhebler . Keely conspired for months with a secret agent inside of Makers Central to surprise us all with this incredible work of art. We’re honored and grateful to have such an incredible piece of hers in the space!!! This is not another April Fools post. This actually happened. We’ve been Banksy’d. Last night between the hours of 10:30pm and 10:44pm two masked bandits broke into Makers Central and installed an incredible hand painted mural on the door of bathroom. This was a planned and coordinated “arttack” that was executed with extreme precision. Not only are we not mad, we are wildly impressed. We can’t imagine what we’ve done to deserve such a beautiful piece of art. If you’re the artist, come forth!!! Or, if you have any clue as to who did this, please put them on blast in the comments and help us get to the bottom of the artistic mystery of the century.
