Hello Potters!

Unfortunately, I broke my ankle last week playing kickball. I am going to be out for a few weeks. ☹️ The amazing instructors are going to help out to make sure the studio keeps running smoothly. There will be a sub monitor for Studio+ on Friday’s.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you need help or anything needs tending to in the studio. You can email me at amandajoy@fittoncenter.org

Hello Potters!

This is a reminder that the building will be closed 4/18 in observation of Good Friday. Therefore, Studio+ will be cancelled.

Also, just a heads up that there has been a lot of firing in the last week or so. I unloaded 3 kilns today and loaded and fired two more. So, this coming Tuesday there will be a lot of pottery ready for pick up

We are gearing up for the first summer session to start 4/21!

I am doing my best to get caught up on firing 😅 All three kilns are firing again today and will be unloaded on Tuesday. There's still some instructor work waiting to get in, but most everything else is in.

There are no classes next week (except Functional Pottery's make-up class). Just a reminder that Studio+ will continue on Friday's throughout the break. However, the building is closed on April 18th in observance of Good Friday.

All three kilns were fired today! Most items other than those that were too wet to fire, instructor work, and glaze items with dirty bottoms made it into the kilns. They will be unloaded either Thursday or Friday 😁

Hello Potters!

All three kilns are firing today with glaze and bisque-ware. A few pieces were not able to make it in the bisque firing, a few were not dry enough, but almost everything on the shelves made it in. Kilns will be unloaded either Thursday or Friday this week 🌼

What are pinholes?

Pinholes in pottery glaze are small holes penetrating the glaze surface. They can be caused by trapped gases during firing, dust particles, or rough clay surfaces, and can be prevented by ensuring a smooth, dust-free surface and proper glaze application. 

The best way to prevent them is to always wash or dust off bisque-ware before glazing!

I picked up 10 boxes of Ky Mudworks Iceman clay today. It is officially back in stock 🎉

A glaze and small bisque load are firing today and will be unloaded Thursday or Friday 😀

Glaze and bisque fire, kiln loads have both been unloaded Yesterday, March 10th.

Hello everyone!

All the kilns have been unloaded on February 24th. Help us make room by picking up your beautiful creations. 🏺
