Watercolor Wednesdays will begin August 19th!

The studio will be open for watercolor painting--all levels--from 5-10 p.m. beginning August 19th.

We will determine how frequently we will meet that evening.

Bring something new to begin or a work in progress and be inspired and/or request critique.

So far, painters of all levels and various styles have expressed interest.

You must provide your own materials and if you would like suggestions for that, well, that's what we are here for.

These tiles demonstrate how we have been experimenting with wax resist and becoming acquainted with various glazes at a low-fire cone 06. Now, it is time to turn up the kiln to create high-fire results.

We are open to suggestions, hints and personal experiences...

Pottery painting prodigy Katie!

Only two years old!

Still painting pottery!

Regardless of all of our changes, please don't forget that we are still in the pottery painting biz and have bisque galore waiting for you to paint! Our window here shows a few of our most recent accomplishments!

Beautiful bowl by Arnold Hollenbeck!

This years contribution to the Geneva Rain Barrel Parade!

Reinventing Terra Cottage!!!!

Terra Cotta Relief Work--our first experiments...

Hand painted Majolica, and resist works to follow...

Please watch and share in our new endeavor!

We are rolling out slabs of Terra Cotta clay for hand painting with a wide variety of techniques and we will be creating relief tiles as well. Much of what we produce will be inspired works from the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Renaissance. In order to cover many interests our initial outcomes will be somewhat eclectic, but hopefully will include something for everyone.

We will offer private classes and studio time for anyone interested and all ages. All of our work will be for sale and we will have a new store front! We will also create custom tiles for functional and decorative use/display in your home.
