Clay Selfie

This is one of our clay projects that I love!  We have the kids look into a mirror and form what they see in the mirror.  These turn out so cool, because each one is so unique!  I love the way kids perceive how they see things, the world, what is happening around them. Kids

Hot Plates

Do you remember these hot plates?  My Grandma & Mom both  had one when I was growing up, it said "Barbara's kitchen" I distinctly remember it being used frequently on the table or when Grandma made her apple pie. Good memories! I have inherited that piece which conveniently has my name on it! We have

Kiln Opening

When we open the kiln after firing, it's literally like Christmas around here!  That probably is the most fun part of this job!   We know what the pieces looked like before but after sitting in a kiln for 8 hours, and the glaze slowly forms the shiny appearance.  It's magical!  Sometimes it is hard to

Dollar Store Find

I'm always looking for different ways to decorate my house.  I constantly want to paint or change this picture to this wall or change decorations in one room to the next.  Here's a quick redo of canvases.  It will take less than 15 minutes! I was at the dollar store and found some 8x11 size

Favorite Wall?

So I admit, I have a favorite wall in my house.  Strange but true, it has a bunch of "F's" on it for our last name. It also includes a family and a faith canvas, both very important to me. One of my friends has the same letter for her last name and an impressive

Canvas Paintings!

Yes, we are called The Pottery Place BUT we paint canvases as well!  Karen and Joni are our wonderful instructors who love teaching them! We have many ideas here but we also let you choose something that you may like.  A nature scene, a silhouette, a holiday canvas.  Have you ever thought about adding a

Sneak Peak

We are working on some new birthday ideas for some lovely moms who booked parties for their kiddos here. They both have different ideas but both are going to turn out so cute!  We've started them but we just wanted to show you a sneak peak of them!
