I keep reading this phrase: dopamine dressing. I hadn't heard it until recently but I immediately knew what it meant. We've all done it! Colors that make you happy, jeans that make your butt look amazing, clothes that just feel very you & make you happy.
I've started to think of using handmade dishware as dopamine dining. A mug or bowl that you love, that reflects an attitude of joy or serenity or high energy, or makes you smile - gives you what I call joy-zings but what might also be called dopamine hits. If you improve your experience of ordinary activities - & what could be more ordinary than preparing & eating food & drink? - you've improved your daily life. And guess what? Your daily life is the only life you have!
Tl;dr: Buy & use handmade pottery. See ya at the Maine Pottery Tour, May 6 & 7!

We are shaping up to have more than 60 studios on the tour this year, from Portsmouth (YES I KNOW - but it's almost Maine!) to Philips, to several studios in the Blue Hill area.
Pottery, sculpture, bright earthenware, subtle atmospheric pots...there's something for every lover of the ceramic arts. We hope to see you there!
Printable flyers for each of the regions are available at the links below. Each has a full list of participating studios in that region, with the address, (in most cases) a photo, and a map to help you plan your route.
