Media Alert: Corporate News From Our Name Is Mud

For Immediate Release:
August 1, 2005

OUR NAME IS MUD is pleased to announce the acquisition of their do-it-yourself contemporary pottery studios by Goode Partners. The stores allow customers the opportunity to create their own functional ceramics and regularly host children’s birthday parties, corporate teambuilding events, adult nights and other organized outings. OUR NAME IS MUD caters primarily to children ages five and up and their parents, as well as artistic adults.

OUR NAME IS MUD launched its flagship store on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in 1995. Based upon its overwhelming success, the company quickly expanded to include three additional retail outlets. OUR NAME IS MUD became an innovator in this $400 million dollar industry and served as a model for other contemporary pottery studios throughout the country.

OUR NAME IS MUD will retain its name and its Grand Central Terminal gallery location, which the company will continue to use as a testing ground for new product. Former owners Lorrie & Kip Veasey, and partner John Nelsen, look forward to the opportunity this provides for growth and expansion of their wholesale line of finished ceramics.
