Happening this month
Calling All DIVAS!
We are supporting the local MOMS Club
walking team and we are donating 10% of all DIVA night profit to the March
of Dimes. We know several DIVA
friends who have been affected by premature birth. One just had her baby 7 weeks early (he’s
doing great!) and another is the local spokes family for this event!
We would love to see you at DIVA night
April 3rd or 15th to contribute to the March of Dimes
mission to beat the epidemic of premature birth, the biggest threat to
infant health in America! Or, next time
you are in, donate $1 at the cash register and get your card up on the
window. Let’s help find the cure for
the tiny babies who need just a little longer to grow!
 Mom
is GREAT
Show her just how great she is with a
customized gift. Glass mother’s
bracelets could be just the gift for you to give. Or, think of a
personalized plate or platter. The
possibilities are endless. All
Mother’s Day gifts (they should obviously be for Mom!) are discounted 15% the 21st
through the 25th. Come do
something really special for Mom, be ahead of the
curve and do it EARLY!
Classes
 Jake
& Elwood
Introducing: Jake & Elwood, our friends the garden gnomes. They are great travelers, not unlike
their distant cousin from the popular travel company commercial. Come to the studio in April and you can
add them to your garden. These
friends are not fired in the kiln, they are
created with an acrylic dry-brush technique. So, pull out your best painting clothes
and join us (acrylic doesn’t wash out like our
glaze does). You’ll even learn the
secret of rapid-rusting. Oh yes, you’ll be able to take them home
with you the same day! more info
Technique of the Month
If we haven’t already
told you the secret of getting fine detail without being a fabulous
artist…here it is! Clay carbon paper
can be your friend. Print out any design, transfer it to your pottery piece
and then paint as if it is a coloring book!
This technique can be used for lettering, logos, animals, cartoon
characters…just about anything!
Please note that this
technique only works on DRY bisque or DRY glaze coating. So, if you want a base color, plan plenty
of time to wait for drying or complete your project in two trips! Check out these customer and employee
examples of this technique…
 
Meet the Studio
Coordinator
 Morgan P. is our Studio
Coordinator. She greets everyone with
a smile and keeps the studio running efficiently (she even keeps Katharine
and Emily in line!). Morgan is a certified art teach and accomplished
artist. Someday she hopes that we
will lose her to some lucky school and schoolchildren but we are enjoying
her very much until then!
You can see many
examples of her artwork throughout the store…she specializes in details,
details, details! We can’t decide if
we like her dog treat jar or her “what I want to be when I grow up” platter
better. If you haven’t met Morgan in
person, we know you will love her when you do!
