Ambitious JCCC5 project: make as many shotglasses as I can
Hey urrrbudy, I'm the guy who made the steins for the JCCC4. I was so happy that people enjoyed them that I'm doing another project this year. I'm about 2/5 through my incredibly ambitious project: to make hundreds of JCCC5 shotglasses. I know. I KNOW.
There will be 2 types (probably): Captain JoCo and Pirate JoCo. The opposite side will have a ship's wheel with text (no custom text this year unless you donate a bunch of money), and when you flip it over, it becomes a fez!
I'm not taking orders yet, mostly because I don't know how many I will actually make. I'm hoping to make a few hundred, all different colors, probably celadon glazes. Once I have some done, I'll start opening up orders. Once I do, here's the important info:
- I can't float shipping all by myself, so you'll need to pitch in. If you want them delivered to your home (in the US) before JCCC5, you'll be paying probably $15USD. If you want to pick it up at the JoCoTel, it will likely be significantly less for shipping.
- If you don't get it shipped, you'll need to pick it up at the JoCoTel - I don't want to lug all of these around on the boat again. That was not fun.
- The shotglasses are free. I am not charging for them. However, I ask that you donate to the Fishing Cat SSP once they have their donations set up.
- Fishing cats are super cool.
- I don't have a suggested donation amount. I figure if people give what they can, that's what they can afford. Plus they're small, so even a small amount is better than nothing.
I'm always posting my progress on Instagram as liquidsasquatch, so check it out. Thanks!
Comments
- I am not taking payment for shotglasses. Please do not pay me for them.
- I am suggesting that you donate to the Fishing Cat Conservation fund (fishingcatfund.org). My wife and I are passionate about cats and would greatly appreciate it (my wife actually started this project).
- suggested donation is $15 a shotglass. That's what I would charge, if I charged, but I'm not.
- shipping costs: please give a few bucks (really, like $2 a cup max) for shipping.
- don't pay or donate anything until you have the shotglass in your hot little hands. I don't want anyone to be out of pocket before they have something.
- pickup ideally will be at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina Hotel on Jan 30th. We get in on the 29th, and I'll probably just be chilling in a public place with a buttload of ceramics. I will email my location for those who want to swing on by.
- if you can't find me at the hotel, TS. No no no, we'll figure it out. Ideally I want you to get your pots that first day. hit me up and say "yo goober. Where's my pot?" Or something funnier.
- please keep in mind these are hand made. The rims may be a little wobbly and warped because of the imbalance of weight for the sculpted pieces, and because they're very thin. It happens with handmade things.
- people who get to me first get first pick. Not all shotglasses are created equal (tho I tried).
