Thanks for the interest and support!

This weekend we’re participating in the North Coast Open Studios. We fired the wood kiln earlier this week and have been waiting for it to cool. We’ll be unloading it at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 2. Here’s a sneak peak inside the front of the kiln:

It looks like a great firing!!!!!

Our studio will be open to the public from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. the weekends of June 2-3 and June 9-10

We are sorry to hear that Plaza Design will suddenly be closing after 30 years of business…. We’ve made some last minute changes to the wood fired ceramics exhibit that would have taken place there in March and April. The exhibit will be split between galleries listed below. The first reception will be this Saturday, March 3 at the Sewell Gallery! See you there.
