Ceramics

Welcome to our Ceramics Facility! During the past 2 years, in an effort to save on energy & emissions, we have converted our Cone 10 clay bodies & glazes to Cone 6, and have been working to build a stable of Cone 6 glazes for both oxidation and reduction atmospheric firings. Soda firings are still conducted to Cone 10, and we fire this Soda kiln 3 - 4 times/year.					Classes wheel throwing hand building Makin' It Tall!
