WHO IS BIG CERAMIC STORE?
We (the owners) are a husband and
wife team in Reno, Nevada. I'm Cindi, and I'm an amateur potter who
was frustrated when I couldn't buy my studio supplies on-line. So
Glen and I left our high-tech jobs to build the website (no trivial task
with 5000+ items, photos and shopping cart tags) and try starting a
business.
Our partnership name
is Wigglydog Productions, after Buddy our adopted Golden Retriever, who is
always wiggling with excitement and reminds us to do the things we love to do.
Well, it worked! Over the seven years we
have been in business, we have grown consistently. We have hired
employees, opened our own warehouse, added new products... all so
that day after day we can ship orders to customers around the
world.
In addition to making a living, we try to make it easier for people to become
involved in ceramics, and to learn to appreciate it as an art
form. We hope to make it easier for experienced potters to meet
each other, and to help those new to the field. And we hope
that by providing everyone easy access to the tools they need, they can
focus on the creative and practical aspects of making ceramics.
Thanks for your business!
May
your head be full of ideas and your hands full of clay...

p.s. Remember the dot-com meltdown?
Well, you don't have to worry about whether we are going to be
around! The well publicized dot-com failures have been companies
that are venture capital funded, tried to grow much too fast, and were
burning cash at a phenomenal rate. They often employed hundreds or
even thousands of people before they had their first sale, or sold
products at a loss hoping to gain market share. We resisted early
pressure to buy into this craze, mainly because we wanted to control our
own destiny, and to build a business the old fashioned way. And we
are very fortunate we did!
Our address is:
881 E Glendale Ave

Please note, this is a warehouse only.
