kind
words from our customers...
"Our family is made of adults,
children and our beloved
greyhounds. After the birth of our
second daughter, Charlotte, we
were fortunate enough to be given
one of Karen's wonderful plates to
commemorate Charlotte's arrival.
It was the greyhound image and
personalized. The computer
pictures are nice, but the real
thing made me cry--absolutely
stunning!!! We of course had to
have one for our other daughter
Margaux. Because Karen inscribes a
brief message on the back for each
child, it will be a loving gift
for years to come. Karen's work is
beautiful and dealing with her one
on one to place our order was a
wonderful experience. By the end,
I not only had beautiful plates, I
had a wonderful FRIEND!" -
Michele C., VA
"I was
absolutely shocked and amazed that
Karen Adler took the time to
personally call me and confirm
what I wanted (I had written some
modification notes in the memo
section on the on-line order
form). After speaking with Karen I
wound up ordering a specialized
piece, modified from an existing
product offering, and it came out
terrific! It was as if Karen read
my mind and made my vision a
reality. I'm so excited to give
the plaque I ordered as a gift. It
will definitely be a keepsake for
the recipient! Having had such
great success with my first order,
I will definitely be ordering from
Branching Out again. The
personalized customer service and
unique products are fabulous!" -

"Branching Out Pottery
delivered the kind of online
service you would expect if you
walked into the shop: personal,
friendly, and very professional.
It was a true find, and helped
me immensely. This was the kind
of shopping experience I would
not hesitate to recommend to
anyone." - Howard A., TN
"I
am a professional dog trainer, so
dogs are a big part of my life. A
year or so ago a friend and I both
adopted puppies from the SPCA. The
pups are the same age and share a
birthday on Valentine's Day. I
wanted to do something special to
commemorate their first birthday,
so I contacted Branching Out
Pottery to inquire about having 2
custom pet dishes made. I
received an immediate reply to my
e mail from Karen Adler, owner of
Branching Out Pottery. She was
very willing to work with me and
asked me to share my ideas with
her. After a few emails back and
forth, we came up with a design,
that, thanks to Karen, was even
better than what I had envisioned.
I gave her the go-ahead and she
made the dishes for me. They are
absolutely darling!! I am so
pleased with the finished product.
Not only did Karen turn out a
quality piece of work, but she
went out of her way to help me
with the design. She was friendly,
prompt and professional. If you're
considering having a custom
pottery project made, I encourage
you to contact Karen. I did, and
the result was a keepsake to
treasure as well as a functional
dog dish! Thanks Karen." - Julie

"I am thrilled beyond words over
the beauty of the 'Beloved
Plate' that you made for our
anniversary. The pictures on the
website, while beautiful, do not
adequately capture the exquisite
carving and fine detail of your
work. This plate is destined to
become a most treasured heirloom.
Thank you again and again."

"I wanted to let you know that my mom and dad's
anniversary was a total success... Claire and Richard were presented with the
most beautiful plate commemorating their 50 years together--my mom and I both
cried when I read the inscription (to have and to hold...). She has displayed it
very prominently--a beautiful, constant reminder. Karen, thank you so much for
creating something so special and for the time you spent with me figuring this
out. It all seemed quite above and beyond--refreshing to do business with one
who can create something so personal..."-- Marta S., CA
"I am
stunned and awe inspired by the beautiful plate. As you can tell, others
were most impressed by their order for Lori’s Seder plate."
-- Margaret M.
"I just opened the package containing the
family
tree plate that you made for me! To be honest, I don't even know how to put into
words how beautiful it is - and how beautiful it will be to my folks. You
couldn't have done a more perfect job with this!!! Thank you so much for
this!!!! I absolutely love the gold lettering - everything is more beautiful
than I even expected. The pictures on your web site let you think that you know
exactly what it looks like - and then when it arrives it is even BETTER than the
pictures on your site. You were so easy to deal with, especially compared to the
hassles involved in planning this kind of celebration. You were truly
professional from beginning to end. Wish I could say that of everyone that I've
dealt with in this situation. Anyway, my words can't express how grateful I am
for your efforts in producing what will be a family treasure. It will give me
great joy to present this gift to my folks during the celebration. Thank you
from the bottom of my heart!!" -- Sheila B.
"I just wanted to tell you that I think this
little duck plate is awesome. I’d been struggling with finding something to do
for Greg…usually when he has something neat to announce, like his new baby, I
just give him a punch in the shoulder and maybe buy him a beer. I’m all thumbs
when it comes to this kind of stuff, but this plate is perfect and awesome, and
exactly what is needed. Thanks!" -- Jay K., Seattle, WA
"We received your beautiful
picture
frame. We love it! Every time we look at it and the 'starfish' reminds us of our
wedding day makes us smile." -- Heidi and Robert, NJ
"Both Ted and I would like to thank you so very
much for the beautiful ceramic frame. It is a real work of art and we shall
treasure it and the memories it evokes of a terrific week in St. Thomas. We are
truly appreciative." -- Bette, Boynton Beach, FL
"Thank you for the beautiful plates. We enjoyed giving them as gifts, and
they were certainly well received. I’ll contact you with the quotes for the two
upcoming wedding presents we would like to order." Laurie C., NJ
