Last Firing of the Year

December 1st, 2011 By admin

The last firing before the Open House and ArtWalk is firing away. I’ve tons of running around to do but wanted to share some of the work that’s in the kiln. The back ground is a beautiful amber, the berries are Christmas red, the birds are a crackle cream glaze, and the leaves are deep green glaze that jumps the waxed line I use to keep the glazes separated; that will give the pieces an impressionistic look.

Have you always thought that creating your own ceramic pieces would be a wonderful hobby, but you just don’t how to start or what to buy?

This beginner level class is a great way to dive on into tile making and hand building. The small class size promises individualized attention from Marina. And since you’ll be working in the studio, you’ll have all the tools you need right at your fingertips. The best part is that you’ll walk away with actual products you’ve created for yourself.

See the classes page.
