Glass & Stone Pottery Studio Tour
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
The Studio Room
Step through our front door and enter a beautiful, bright, welcoming space filled with tools and resources for creating your ceramic art.
Ten pottery wheels and worktables share the space with a wide range of useful equipment, including an extruder and dies, a slab roller, ribs, measuring tools, chucks, texturing tools and stamps, and more.
Shelves to hold in-progress pieces finish off the space, with materials available to control drying and manage project timelines.
The Glazing Room
From the Studio Room we step into the Glazing Room, filled with all the supplies you might need to decorate your artwork before glaze firing. We have brushing glazes from Amaco, Clay Art Center, Spectrum, Seattle Pottery Supply, Georgie’s, and more, plus large buckets of dipping glazes.
We also offer underglazes from Amaco’s Velvet line, Latex and Reed Wax masking options, and tools ranging from dipping tongs and brushes to sanding blocks, heat guns, Sumi ink and power mixing tools.
You’ll also find the House Blend clay locker and our menu board of bagged clay options for students to purchase.
The Coat Room
Students can keep their personal tools and hang aprons to dry in the Coat Room, or stash personal belongings in a convenient place away from the wet and dust of the active studio spaces. Sample pieces by our staff are on display, ready to help inspire that next project.
The Kiln Room
Our last stop for the moment is the Kiln Room, home to our Skutt and Cone Art electric kilns. We normally fire to Cone 5 or 6 for the best glaze results, but can fire up to Cone 10 when needed.
Student and member pieces move from the Greenware rack to the bisque kiln, to the Bisqueware rack, to the Glaze Firing Rack. We fire at least once a week, and more often if there are enough pieces to justify it.
And - you see the bare cementboard on the walls? I think that’d look better with some handmade artistic tiles, don’t you?
