Get Involved

This project is a hobby of mine, I've worked at The Fiesta Tableware Company (formerly Homer Laughlin) since 2014 in a variety of capacities. My father worked here before me since the 90's, and my mother was an employee of Hall China for a period of time. The release of the new colors every year has been something I've enjoyed both from the outside as a customer and fan, to now behind the scenes as Digital Marketing and Software Development takes me right into the mix of information/planning and release.

Though I am an employee at The Fiesta Tableware Company, this project is not affiliated with or endorsed by them in any way. I have been super careful not to accidentally release information about the new color every year, and have done a great deal of research to build this.
