Artful Time Pieces by David Scherer
New arrivals in the shop this week include six new sculptural clocks by Michigan artist David Scherer. Explosive in color (and sometimes even form) these new artful time pieces are truly wonderful!
Well known for his 3-D paintings, David Scherer works in a variety of mediums and brings an intriguing, distinctive style and vibrancy to all of his art. Scherer attributes his unique direction to the expansion of his cumulative experience of more than 30 years as an artist. His sculptural wall clocks are energetic and complex, yet David modestly states “I am what I am, I do what I do”. And we love it! Shop online for David Scherer clocks at brookepottery.com.

Gift-wrapping Champions
Remember our smallest gift wrapping test? Well, the week before Christmas certainly put us through our paces. Fingers were flying and scissors were curling. And after Grace’s fun candy cane gift wrapping job on a Brazos handcrafted walking cane, we can cheerfully claim that no store wraps quite like Brooke Pottery! Here are a couple of fun photos from last week. Remember, our free gift wrapping service is available year round.
Save Time With Our Free Gift Wrapping
Gift wrapping for customers is just part of a normal day at Brooke Pottery. Our colorful wrapping papers and big ribbon bows have even become a trademark over the years. While free gift wrapping is a service that we always offer, it is especially appreciated during the holiday season when time is in short supply. Last week, Erica made the smallest bow for the tiniest box ever! Proof that no gift is too large, or in this case too small, to deserve special attention.
Let us do the wrapping for you. In a hurry? Then come back after lunch, after work or the next day. Your gifts will be wrapped and ready to go!
