Christa Assad Iron Teapot & Cups, stoneware, teapot: 8” x 10” x 7”, cups: 3.5” x 3”


Last week a big container of pottery stuff arrived at fourth & clay along with the potter herself.....Christa Assad. She will be permanently here in mid June as she had to return to Kansas City to get her truck. We can't wait to have our studio totally finished and full of pot throwing women.

Don't forget that this Saturday (11 - 5) we are open and would LOVE company.If you're in the area please stop by, have a cookie and see what we've been up to.
