Fat Cat Pottery

Just a little shout out to our “Dream Team”. Caeson and Robin are our backbone to the studio operations here at Fat Cat!!❤️❤️

Spectrum Glazes are back! Including your favorite Running Hot Chowder, Bougainvillea and Pearl White.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in our last two gas reduction firings! We had so many pots that we had to fire twice, back-to-back!

What a great experience it was—and honestly, the best part is seeing happy potters, hearing the “oohs” and “ahhs,” and watching you pick up your finished creations. 💕 Thank you for letting us be a part of your pottery journey!

Our next firing is September 25th. Please have all work dropped off before noon on September 24th.

See our website for details or ask how you can get in our next fire the next time you visit us.

Happy Pot’n!
