This copper beauty makes my heart ache for fall... but could also be the 100+ degree temperature in my studio...Texas summers don’t mess around. #onfire

Because sometimes even spoons need a rest.

One of the silver linings of this season is being able to make items that had been either customs or market only pieces available to you all! I will have a couple of these spoon rest beauties available in the shop update in August!

Another lidded vessel that has captured my heart!

Another lidded vessel that has captured my heart! Will have a couple of these lidded beauties available next shop update in August! Some great things about these guys-
1. They are food safe
2. They are air tight
3. They make great gifts! (I love to fill them with some local roasted coffee or some yummy treats)

I will be figuring out my next shop update this week. Friends- it’s going to be my biggest one yet and I am so pumped! If you’d like to be the first to know- (and get some fun perks like early access and discount codes)- please sign up for my newsletter! Link is in bio!

Handleless pitchers are one of my favorite pieces!

Handleless pitchers are one of my favorite pieces! I often get asked what I use use them for and the answer is anything liquid! Sauces, gravy, creamer, coffee, tea, water...and when in doubt, these guys are always up for showboating a bouquet.

Happy Wednesday! It’s been awhile since I introduced myself! My name is Renee and I am the hands behind Fig Tree Pots. Everything is made from my little home studio right outside of Austin, TX. Some fun facts about me are
-Born and raised in the northwest suburbs of Chicago
- Been married for 9 years and have a 5 year old son
- Have a very dorky St. Bernard mix (@potterypuppy) who hangs in the studio with me when she is not barking at everything
-Was a special education teacher before pursuing pottery full time
-Love Jesus, traveling, folk music, and all things that involve water (beach, boats, you name it!)

Thank you for all your amazing support through the years! It’s such a joy to do this!
*Also- shout out to @gaidosseafood (my t-shirt) best red snapper I’ve ever had!*

I began to make these sweet ring/trinket dishes out of a place of personal necessity. I use to always forget to remove my wedding ring before working on the wheel. This went on for years and sad to say- despite my best efforts- my ring was filthy. Well- the breaking point was noticing that one of my little diamonds had made their way out of my ring and into the clay. So the trinket dish was born and placed front and center to remind me to remove my rings and avoid any future “additions” to my pieces. And FYI for those of you who purchased a pot from me in the past year- there may be a diamond hidden somewhere in your piece. 😂
