Our kiln unloading ritual - ooh-ahhh session.

Hand-building stations have fabric covered surface so your clay projects wont stick

Hand-building stations have fabric covered surface so your clay projects wont stick. Inside are 2 seated tables and  1 standing table. Outside is one standing table.

Greenware rack for bonedry.

This rack is where your bonedry green ware will wait to be loaded into the kiln.  

When we can fill the studio again, it bustles with energy and creativity. For now we will enjoy the less full space and revel in quiet concentrating creativity.

The kiln has been fired and waiting on folks to arrive so we can unload as a team.

The outdoor work space has a kickwheel and a fabric table work surface.
