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.
