Mission and Giving Back
My Mission: Pottery with a Purpose
At Blue Nose Trading, I believe that handmade pottery should do more than just look beautiful in your home, it should contribute to a kinder world for all creatures, big and small. My studio was founded on a "raw and honest" approach to the craft, and that philosophy extends to how I support my community and the animals I share the world with.
Supporting Animal Welfare
I am proud to announce that a dedicated portion of every sale at Blue Nose Trading is donated to animal welfare charities, with a primary focus on the SPCA of Texas.
The "Blue Nose" in my name is more than just a brand; it is a tribute to my first dog, a blue nose pitbull named Azuci, and a desire to support animals in need. By choosing my artisan crafted ceramics, you are directly helping to provide:
- Rescue and medical care for neglected or surrendered pets.
- Advocacy for animal rights across the state of Texas.
-
Support for local shelters and adoption efforts.
Why We Give
My pottery is created in my small-batch Texas home studio where my values of compassion and hard work go hand-in-hand. I know that my customers value authenticity, and want you to know that your support helps sustain not just a small local artist, but a mission to protect those who cannot speak for themselves.
Hand-Crafted for a Cause
Every time you use your cup-holder-friendly travel mug or look at your frost-safe bonsai planter, you can take pride in knowing that a piece of that purchase went toward a second chance for a shelter animal.
Thank you for being part of our story and for helping me support the incredible work done by the SPCA of Texas.
