Plays With Mud

Handcrafted Pottery

Plays With Mud, owned by crafter-of-all-trades Paula Weigel, creates beautiful, affordable pottery that is “meant to be loved on a daily basis.“ Their cookware and plates are DISHWASHER safe. Being a busy mom, dishwasher safe has become just as important to me as “machine wash, tumble dry low“ and “microwave on high.“

While you may want to use their trays and bowls at your next party, they can also be used to display soaps, potpourri, candies or other small objects. Their signature piece, the Clamshell Bowl (shown left top and middle), are about 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 inches high. They can be personalized on the rim with family names and favorite quotes. A smaller version known as the Wee Pot was introduced in 2006 in honor of their son. These pots have an organic shape which fits well with the natural material. We also love their rustic bread tray (bottom left) which for $25 is a real steal!

Plays with Mud also offers an eclectic mix of handcrafted products including luggage tags made from vintage stamps, funky fabric belts and hair accessories, and hand made stuffed animals called “stuffies.“

Plays with Mud is offering our readers a free Wee Pot with the purchase of any Clamshell Bowl through the end of November. Use the code “FreeWee“ at checkout.
