Lina away
☀️UPDATED OPENING HOURS☀️
Hello allemaal!
Pansy will have some updated opening hours from today. I'm going to be away for an installation project in the UK for a month, so I'll be leaving Pansy to a small team of dedicated friends to help me run the space, which means we'll be operating on limited hours:
Monday - Wednesday: Closed
Thursday: 11.00am - 6.00pm
Friday: 11.00am - 6.00pm
Saturday: 10.00am - 6.00pm
Sunday: 10.00am - 6.00pm
We don't have many workshops scheduled during late April through to May except for our regular Ceramic Sundaes and One Night Wonder, but they will be returning and back to the regular program in late May/early June, with some exciting summer collaborations in the works!
Our online shop will be operating as usual but please be patient, it may take an extra few days to get them sent out to you as orders are packed and sent on Friday and Saturday.
If you have any questions or queries please get in touch via email hello@pansy-shop.com
Where are you off to?
I’m going to London for one month to work on a project with Tanya and Chad (Pip & Pop) at Kew Botanical Gardens! We’re making a very very colourful and detailed artwork installation in several galleries so will be hard at work every day!
It’s very hard for me to leave pansy, I haven’t taken time away since starting in 2020. But I’m trying to remember that I build a business around my life so that I can do important projects with people I love.
Will the shop still be open?
Yes! Our physical space (Czaar Peterstraat 68) will be open Thursday - Sunday and our online store is always open of course. Please bear with us as it may take a few extra days than usual as Melly our packing queen is only working Fridays and Saturdays.
Can I drop off my pansy pack creations?
Yes! Feel free to drop them off anytime during opening hours, you’ll receive an email when they’re ready for pick up! The firing schedule won’t be as often as usual, so please bear with us as firings may take an extra week or so before you can receive your items.
How can we contact you?
I’ll be doing my very best to stay active on social media (instagram) and checking in on emails intermittently (Jojo will be on email duty and getting back to you as promptly as possible) but I’ll be working more than full time over in London so please bear with me!
Who’s going to be looking after pansy?
I’m very lucky to have a supportive team to help me through this time and look after pansy while I’m away. We’ll be operating on limited operating hours but someone will be there to help you out!
Are workshops still running?
Our regular Ceramic Sundaes and One Night Wonder are going ahead as usual, but our ceramic making workshops won’t be running while I’m away. We have an exciting program for June, July onwards with some fun collaborations in the works!
Can I book a private workshop?
I’ll be away from Wednesday 20 April - Friday 20 May, so any private workshops can be booked from late May onwards! Thanks for your patience with us.
