Every which way with Seaweed and Smokey Merlot!
Such a pretty set by one of our students ๐Ÿซถ

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?

One of our awesome residents learning how to operate our kiln while unloading his own astonishingly cool work! The definition of ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Centered Clay Collective 09/21/2024

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! ๐Ÿซถโค๏ธ๐Ÿซถ

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! ๐Ÿซถโค๏ธ๐Ÿซถ
