How we came up with the design:Β
When we set out to make a Pride inspired pot we had three key things in mind.Β

- Must be easy to replicate and achievable in 90 mins.Β

The Progressive Pride Flag
Below is the 2018 Pride Flag design created by Oregon bases artist Daniel Quasar. Black and brown stripes were added to represent and celebrate people of colour, as well as pink, white and blue stripes in a nod to the Trans Pride banner.Β
Quasar's progressive Pride Flag was used as the mountains in our Paint n' Pot design. For us, this symbolises growth, resiliency and the journey of self acceptance.Β

"What are you? To Define is to Limit" Quote by Oscar Wilde
We LOVE when we see people drawing on their planters with our Crockd Paint Pens.Β So we knew we wanted to include some kind of message on the pot. It was important for us to choose a quote from someone whoΒ represented the LGBTQI+ community.Β
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) a famous writer and poet hid his sexuality for many years, and in the end historians mark his homosexuality as his 'downfall', when his love affair with a prominent Aristocrat resulted in his imprisonment and expulsion from British social circles.
We loved this Wilde quote as it encompasses the identity challenge in all of us. While society has come a long way sinceΒ Wilde's Victorian era there are still many people hiding in the shadows. This quote reminds us that the sooner we let go of labels, the sooner we will be able to live boundless lives.
