This Hand Mug I scooped up in triumph during one of Melissa's massively popular and always sold out shop updates back in 2021. I felt like I had won the lottery! My heart breaks for the artists who have sustained such immeasurable loss over the last week after Hurricane Helene, and I want to help. I've taken this mug from my kitchen shelf, ONE OF MY FAVORITES, and have put her up for auction.
Wheel Thrown Mug #37 from a February 2021 update she had that I swooped, and now hope you win!
100% of this listing's revenue will be Venmo-ed back to Melissa. My heart breaks for WNC and all the Appalachian artists there (so many artists. so many potters.) who no longer have their warm homes, studios, or creative practice going into the busiest season for any working artist. The devastation is real.
You may purchase this listing AS A RAFFLE TICKET for a chance to win this mug. You may purchase as many as you like. Each $20 purchase will count as one raffle ticket. I will draw from a hat, or maybe this mug, a name for the keeping of this OOAK piece, and all purchases will be donated directly back to Melissa via Venmo.
I will ship this beaut directly to you, and you will have a Melissa Weiss OOAK mug, which if I do say so myself, is basically like winning the lottery!
Please tell your friends, and consider what small effort you can contribute in a world gone crazy. If just one mug...
XO Erin
