Let’s make pottery art!

Eat well and exercise. That's the classic advice for living a long, healthy life. A new study suggests another habit to add to the list: Let your creative juices flow.

Art is therapy. There is no need to grade good or bad. The clay is simply good for the soul.

So is singing. In the car. By myself. At the top of my lungs. Yes. I’m that crazy girl beside you at the stoplight.

Three weeks ago, we had one of our friend groups in to make wall pockets. None of us could wait to see them glazed! WE fired them late last week, and the results are over the top! Different styles, different techniques -- each one is just perfect in its own way. We will be anxious to see what they have planned for the next project!! So happy that they are enjoying a pottery journey!

A busy studio means that I need to push myself to find time to make simple things for me. After I made my oil jar and little salt bowl/spoon, I decided that I would make 2026 the year that I replaced store bought items in my kitchen. Nothing dramatic. Just useful items that are made by me and bring me joy. We have a cupboard full of mugs made by Bruce, a set of dishes and pasta bowls made by me -- eventually our kitchen will tell the story of who we are and what we love. Adding to the collection with this simple yet lovely utensil canister. My favorite color and favorite pattern, it as full as it can be and it makes me smile! Moving on to the next project!

I'm posting May's calendar so that you can see that we have some time for custom classes. I'm not posting predefined date and time classes any more -- that doesn't seem to work for more than one person at a time. So if there is an open day that interests you for a group of 3-6, give me a call to chat. I'll look to see if we can make your request work. We can talk about project and cost. We look forward to speaking with you! Get Creative!! 708-217-4365

We started the planter wall pocket glazing today. We still have two more of the group that need to glaze on Tuesday. So much creativity today -- and SOOOOOO much focus! Cannot wait to see how they turn out. We will fire them later next week. Fingers crossed and prayers to the kiln gods when we do -- wink wink.

I've made some progress on the pots! 2 are glazed and fired and a few more to go!! I did two different styles on these -- I can't decide which one is my favorite. Now to fill these with some plants!

Unfortunately, this Saturday's class to make these pots has been cancelled. It's been an up and down registration for some reason with people registering, cancelling, new people registering, and cancelling-- and we ended the night last night with one lone person. As much as I hate to do it, we will cancel the class and try to reschedule when we can pull a group of 3-6 together.

Custom groups seem to make the most sense. If you have a group of 3-6 and you want to spend a fun time playing in mud, give us a call. We will work with you on a project, date and time. We can get it on the calendar with a plan that works for you and your group.

Just give us a call -- 708-217-4365.
