Hello all – Sara here, 

 

To say there have been many pivots in running this shop is quite an understatement. As you scroll through our social media feeds, read our newsletters, and visit us in person, you might not realize that we also see YOU. We notice how you celebrate, how you comfort yourselves, how you grieve, and how you process. Our team has quietly grown alongside you and we try to be intuitive to what you need the most at any given moment. To us, this is sacred. You have been resilient with us through the ebbs and flows. You have been there right alongside us through the seasons of growth and change. For that, we are forever grateful.
 

Truthfully, I’ve felt a shift coming again. I feel it deep within my heart and see it firsthand in the shop. Therefore, as our lease ends for our shop on Brown’s Race, we’ve decided not to renew it. It wasn’t a decision that came lightly. It was one born out of many sleepless nights. It created an achy nagging feeling in my gut. The world is changing all around us. What matters to people now is so much different than it was just a year ago. Simplicity, joy, quality, and calm mean more now than ever.

 

I called a meeting. I poured my heart open to our team. We talked about what we most love in Ritual and what no longer serves us. We all resounded to the fact that we needed to get back to our Mill Street roots. We miss having you shop in our little studio. The feeling in that building cannot be replicated anywhere else. We want you to see what is being made for you right before your eyes when you come to visit. We want you to feel immersed in our world. We want to feel connected to you all again. After all, that’s what is most important, human connection. We want you to feel heard and seen when you visit us.

 

So here is where I humbly ask you a favor. While we transition to this new phase of Ritual Clay we will need to downsize SIGNIFICANTLY to fit back into our lovely studio space. We are running BIG liquidation sales starting this weekend in the shop. All sale items will be offered to you at wholesale price. We know with the rising costs of… well, LIFE right now that expendable income remains scarce. But if you have a little extra spending money please come by and grab some beautiful products at an unheard-of price point. Our goal is to have everything transitioned over to 234 Mill Street by Mid-August. We will be sending out clear communication of the move and any changes as things move forward.
 

For more details on what to expect moving forward feel free to visit our website. We’re honestly so excited about this transition and having more time and space to connect back with you on an even deeper level. We have website enhancements, traditional mail updates, and even more experiences planned moving forward.
 

**Please note that any gift cards, classes, and curbside orders will still be honored. We’re going to even be offering more services in the coming weeks. Our square footage might be downsizing but our offerings for the future are not!
