Shine Ceramics at The Flying Rhino- 8.26.10


Shine Ceramics is pleased to announce an Exhibition of Coffee Mugs!  This event is a part of the Art's Commission of Greater Toledo's Thursday Art Walk Series.  Thurs., Aug. 26th from 6-9pm.

Every time I have a sale or show, all the mugs sell out.  In honor of this popular item, and in honor of my favorite beverage, we bring you a Mug show at one of Shine's favorite LOCAL retailers, The Flying Rhino Coffee.  

I've made 44 new cups and mugs in the past ten days for this show.  Get yours while the gettin's good.  Mugs range from $20-40, depending on the amount of painting and detail in the design.  All mugs are microwave and dishwasher friendly.  Shine Ceramics accepts credit cards for purchases.

The Flying Rhino Coffee is located at 436 13th St in Downtown Toledo, between Jackson and Adams, near Madhouse graphic design/ ad agency.  

More info on The Flying Rhino is available at www.flyingrhinocoffee.com.
