A requested headline back by popular demand. In a truly breathtaking stunt, Marina Del Clay yet again defies the status quo, and abandons wish to be set in stone.......
TO BE SET IN CLAY
DELIVERY BY SPEEDBOAT TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
We apologise for the inconvenience. We've been incredibly busy working on our logistical framework to meet the unexpected demand coming from the East Coast. Our studio will remain the same size, nestled in the heart of Marina Del Rey and will do our very best to maintain inventory for the residents of Los Angeles. Now you may question, why not just hire a boat driver? Well we did.. and we're on our 4th captain and 4th invoice now to rehabilitate our sea men from stage 3 ceramic addiction. We are not psychic but we know what you're thinking...............
WHY NOT DRIVE THE BOAT YOURSELF?
What a fantastic question. We've thought about it many times. Again, we are incredibly busy in the studio whipping up all kinds of ceramic creations that, truthfully, we can't fit it in on top of our next big surprise.. Due to the demand coming not only from the East Coast as mentioned earlier, we have been swamped with an influx of over seas orders. We are up to our eyeballs in ideas about how we're going to fulfil orders to our friends in London, France, Germany - and even Hong Kong. This is a lot of pottery to move, and although it's all well and good in theory to ship plates, bowls, mugs and cups - we want to ensure that our handmade ceramics are cared for during transit. We're working on it..........
THE FOUNDER OF MDC RESPONDS..
we're too busy getting our pilots licenses for air freight
MDC FINALLY CLEARS THE RUMOURS OF A SEAPLANE..
We don't know where, or how this started.. The team at Marina Del Clay are very well aware of the logic and marriage between the boats we are too busy to drive, and the planes we are currently learning to fly. A seaplane makes perfect sense.. admittedly we were trying some very unique tea one evening in order to test drive a Marina Del Clay mug when the idea arose. Perhaps our elaborate brainstorming efforts left excited pottery addicts in a state of expectation - for which we our sorry. To clear the air, Marina Del Clay will be fulfilling pottery and ceramic orders through other forms of logistical process. We understand the interest in buying pottery and ceramics online, and the convenience with having it delivered to your door. If we throw a seaplane in the mix.. it's only a matter of time until we cave in to start fulfilling orders to the yachting members in Saint Barth. We love you all too much, the seaplane will be unhealthy for both of us. MDC AC-130 inbound..........

Setting The Scene: Experience The Environment Of MDC's Studio
We get this question a lot. What's it like? Well.. aside from the constant heat of the furnaces, we're very proactive when it comes to the playlist. Each session is curated to the consensus of the team. This is particularly useful when studio members are approaching lunchtime hunger after a morning of heat exposure from the furnaces. Naturally, our number one priority is to seek new sources of internal inspiration through music, however the preventative tranquility it has towards a hot & hungry team is truly incredible. We also align on the importance of raising our ceramics and pottery to a particular audio aesthetic, why not? We also love hearing new music suggestions, and anticipate to host weekly competitions of song recommendations awarded by free deliveries of pottery and other ceramic creations. We have a very diverse taste, so there should be no hesitations towards any recommendations! We try not to listen to metal for obvious reasons - we're working with clay here..
SEND US A HOT TRACK TO WIN A HOT PLATE
STONEY PLATE: NOW BACK IN STOCK
- "I smashed mine just so I could buy it again"
Our Stoney Plate has been a very popular item since launching back in 2019. As with all things Marina Del Clay, this plate has been lovingly crafted via a handmade-ceramic-ritual like process in order to ensure the highest quality possible. At Marina Del Clay, our plates are intended for use across the board - or kitchen, living room dining space - you name it. We're thrilled to see that our customers make use of this iconic ceramic creation in more ways than the common pottery associations. As mentioned in our article relating to the tech - related incident, these plates might be fly but they certainly do not fly. Yes, we're aware that they look aerodynamic - however as you'll find they're a bit sluggish when flying through the air and are not proficient when it comes to sticking the landing. We've noticed that many people enjoy using our handmade ceramics and pottery as sets for both dining and displaying fresh ingredients in their kitchen. After all, the hub of any home is the kitchen - why wouldn't you litter the most important room in the house with gorgeous handmade ceramic plates, pottery-inspired vases, and a wide range of other lovingly-made products. Good news: these plates are not only microwave-proof, but they can also withstand the dishwasher! As many cycles as you'd like, our plates are tough; but made with soft clay-covered hands of course. The popularity of The Stoney Plate has really taken off lately, with endorsements from all of those who have purchased it. Available in Cream, Brown, Blue - this is just the beginning. Expect to see exciting collaborations take place with artists from all over the globe.
Shining light on the glorious nature of Marina Del Ray: Many have asked how we came up with the name 'Marina Del Clay'. The pleasant nature of the Marina has always inspired visions for the perfect place to consume caffeine via a ceramic contained coffee - however realistically speaking, who doesn't love people watching yacht crew over a seafood lunch on a sunny day, in the heart of a marina? There's something to be said for the tranquil nature of any marina, however we've found the contrast to be fantastic and very noticeable when transitioning from the hustle and bustle of some of Los Angeles' more busier areas, to this calmer and more peaceful location. Many are often curious is we jump into the marina or go swimming between ceramic and pottery sessions - of course we do! With the furnaces ablaze for a decent portion of the day, the studio can get very hot. Some can handle the heat without a swim, however the vast majority of us need to get in the currents and feel a change of temperature. The freezing temperatures of the pacific ocean add for a nice contrast to the heat of the studio. Sometimes, we'll take a set of stoney plates to the beach and form what many would view as an impractical picnic. We don't view it this way, practicality is more about how nice it looks than how easy it is to set up ;) We encourage all Marina Del Clay website users shopping for ceramics and pottery to check out our desktop site - it's a tad more fun than the mobile, tablet, and smaller screen size iterations. As mentioned in an article further down our news feed, we are always on the hunt for new music to play in the studio and we would really appreciate some quirky tunes!

KEEPING IT SIMPLE WITH OUR ULTRA HIGH TECH INVENTORY STATUS TRACKER THINGY
We began to notice a pattern emerging. It appears that we continuously sell out our stock faster than we expect to. Our last batch was sold out in less than 2 weeks, and we make a lot of pottery. We began to receive messages and requests for commissioned batches - which trust us we'd love to, but right now we just want to make sure our inventory is fair game for the fellow ceramic addicts. We realised that we needed to incorporate a way to enable our frequent visitors to monitor and keep track of what's available. So what did we do? We loaded our van with collections of mugs, plates, bowls - the usual tableware, and embarked on our venturous quest. We drove a gruelling 20 minutes into the heart of a local tech community and started handing out ceramics. We caused a frenzy, never did we think to see a ceramic plate made by Marina Del Clay wielded as a weapon and released in frisbee-like fashion. We were stunned at how far these things can fly, in fact that annoyingly we lost one of our best studio hands to pursue an aeronautical degree. It happens. Long story short our offering of free ceramics was enough to win the hearts of a few tech-savvy individuals who kindly took the time to build this stock monitor for us.................

OFFICIAL: UPDATES COMPLETE
Our studio has seen a lot of action.. ALOT. Given the influx in orders over the past 2 years we thought it was finally time to make a few renovations. We have nearly tripled our furnace capacities, doubled our stock & inventory rooms, and expanded our clay prep station. We understand that with the recent confusion surrounding boat deliveries, as well as the wildfire-spread-like rumour of the seaplane; many of you were expecting the addition of a dock for seamless access to the water. We've decided to redesign this original structure, and replace the functionality, look and feel with that of a gang plank. Very sturdy.......
