Every which way with Seaweed and Smokey Merlot!
Such a pretty set by one of our students ๐ซถ
When I unloaded them, I didn't notice, but she says every piece experienced crazing. The other student/resident work in the same kiln didn't. Thoughts? Over-glazing perchaps?

Our ability to stay afloat has all been thanks to you, Rogers Park. dedicated work-study students and generous volunteers, all of you long-time regulars, our fantastic group of resident artists, our independent artists who use our kiln services.

It's thanks to every neighbor who glances in, perhaps just distracted by the fairy lights, everyone who waves from the window, everyone who expresses care and love for Bobbi, visiting her every day for a little hello check in and wave (she's the cozy tortoise in the window).
โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐
We're here thanks to everyone who stops in to check out The Kiln Room, maybe to snag some HOLIDAY GIFTS? ๐ or to grab a cup of tea or cocoa, maybe a free pack of hand warmers for the rest of your walk on those Chicago winter days!
โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐
Thank you for supporting us through our 7 (almost 8) years of building a welcoming community space.

For Emily and Centered Clay Collective in Park Ridge, we want to give a heartfelt, ecstatic, double-triple-with sugar on top and extra sprinkles THANK YOU! ๐ซถโค๏ธ๐ซถ
We have been trying to sell off 2 vintage Amaco kickwheels for so long. Emily walked in to pick up one we had discussed via FB market place and decided to take BOTH, giving us so much extra storage and wall space to accomodate more resident artists.
Check them out and visit their website! They have so many great programs, And not all of our followers live in Rogers Park.
Emily: we are so grateful to you and CCC for providing us with means to pay off some of our credit card debt after our most expensive summer in 7 years, for your incredible kindness and support, AND for letting me hang out with your wicked cool kiddo while the big dudes did the heavy lifting for ya! And, of course, thank you to those heavy lifters!
Chatting with and meeting you was a truly serendipitous privilege.
Car problems are NOT a cheap fix, nor is a new kiln exhaust system and installation, and now we can breath more easily as we move into our busy season.
Once again, thank you to Emily and CCC. We hope you love the wheels! ๐ซถโค๏ธ๐ซถ
