Hello Potters! I fired kilns on Friday and TODAY. So, I unloaded what was fired Friday and and everything else that was on the shelves in the kiln room (both bisque and glaze) is currently in the kilns being fired. At the very latest, they will be unloaded on Friday. But, I anticipate Rebecca will get to it on Thursday for her class.

Also, I will be out of town on Friday. Noah will be coving Studio+ again (thanks, Noah!). That means I will not be firing on Friday. So the next firing after today will be next Tuesday 2/18 and unloaded later next week.

Please email me if ever have any questions!

I fired another glaze and bisque load today! Almost everything on the shelves made it in. It will be out Friday if not unloaded by an instructor before I get to it.

I unloaded all three kilns this morning with lots of bisque and glazeware! I also loaded and fired two more loads of bisqueware today, but I’ll waiting until Tuesday to fire another glaze load.

This is your friendly reminder to clean all the glaze off the bottom of your pots. That includes ALL glaze left on wax. As the wax melts, the glaze will flake off onto kiln shelves or surrounding pieces.

Here are some examples of unclean bottoms. So, be sure to appropriately clean your bottoms folks 😉

We'll see how long it lasts, but we have a whole gallon as of today!

I just restocked 10 boxes of the 112 speckled brown clay today. Unfortunately, the porcelain was not in stock, and there is a delay in shipment due to the weather. The distributors aren't shipping it out right now because the temperatures are too cold and the clay is compromised if it is frozen.

Queen City Clay told me they would let me know as soon as it comes back in stock. B-Mix is a great substitute in the meantime. Supply is running a bit low on B-Mix, but I will be picking up more soon!

Amanda, FYI. I refilled Blue Midnight glaze on Jan 17. The gallon bottle is now pretty much empty and is sitting upside down by the left most sink in the main pottery studio (trying to get as much as possible out of it). Haruko

Just wanted to update everyone I am scheduled to pick up speckled brown and porcelain clays on Tuesday 1/21 . Sorry for any inconvenience!
