new rose cups by josie jurczenia

We are OPEN this weekend.......
We are trying to keep the gallery open more in 2013.  We can't always manage it BUT we are attempting to keep the doors open Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 5.  If you're in the area and our doors are open we would LOVE to have you come in, shop or just say Hi. We have some beautiful new work we'd love to show with you.

P.S. Even if our doors aren't open you can always ring the bell and if we're there working  we will let you in.

Hot new work....We'll be open Saturday March 2

Yesterday fourth & clay hosted a full to capacity Diana Fayt Workshop.  Diana showed us  her tricks.  We all learned a ton.  Thank you Diana.

Happy Holidays

Our party was great this year.
It was a little quieter than in years past and though we missed the old friends that didn't make it, we had a ball with those that did.  John Schnick (our official documentarian  and light show operator) made this little video.
2012 has been a terrific year complete with Christa being named Ceramic Artist of the Year, rae doing a residency in France and Josie mastering dinnerware sets and tree drawing.

*Big changes are ahead in 2013 with the departure of our beloved rae and the arrival of our new claymate Jess Wertz.

*We are taking sign-ups for our first workshop of the year with Diana Fayt (Feb 23)...information below...please call or email if you are interested.  This workshop will fill up fast.

Our gallery is now closed until 2013 as we cozy-in and take a little time off to enjoy  this season with family and friends.

Happy Holidays to all.

Please stop by and see her one last time at our studio during the Holidays before she sets up her new solo space in the Sawtooth Building (just a few blocks from us).

She is a graduate of Penn State and has spent the past 2 years apprenticing with Silvie Granatelli in Floyd,Virginia.  She is full of great ideas and energy. 
Her work is functional and beautiful.   She will be joining us in Feb 2013.

We will be sending out additional information shortly so please be on the look out for it.  This is one workshop not to be missed.
