Frequently Asked Questions
What's a Second? Seconds are pots with flaws that occur as an unavoidable part of ceramics manufacturing. We sell them at a discount because they're not a representation of our best work and quality, but they are still functional and food-safe. We’d rather see Seconds sprucing up your table than headed for the landfill.
There are so many reasons a pot can be a Second—they might be a little wonky and off-center, have minor pinholing, or funny little bumps under the surface we call "bloats." Learn more.
There’s typically a line from about 9-11:30am, but each location is different. Time your arrival! Early birds wait longer but have the best shot at wishlist items; midday arrivals usually see shorter lines and easier shopping.
It varies by venue. If you’re unsure, feel free to email layson.peters@eastfork.com to confirm or check directly with the venue.
No. Please bring your own totes, wrapping paper, wagons, etc. to ensure your pots get home safely!
No. We unpack and merchandise everything at the start, so what you see is what we have.
Credit/debit, ApplePay, East Fork Gift Cards. We do not accept cash at pop-ups!
No, all of our seconds are final sale and non-refundable.
We hire temp staff about one month out from each event. Make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter so you don’t miss the call! We prioritize folks who can work multiple shifts.
