Clayworks Studio Gallery

Clay

The Clayworks gallery is stocked with handmade wall sconces in traditional, Southwestern and Craftsman styles, as well as coordinating tile address numbers and plaques. We also feature tile murals, tables and wheel-thrown pottery. During E.A.S.T. visitors are invited to tour the production area where we mix our own clay and fashion it into finished pieces. Expect to see tile making, wheel throwing and glazing demonstrations.

Firing, the last and trickiest stage of the process, requires both skill and luck for success. Since time immemorial potters have been placing tiny clay good luck pieces in the kiln along with their wares. The little Kiln God presides over the firing, fending off cracks and other unfortunate outcomes. Visitors are invited to make their own Kiln Gods during the tour and leave it with us to be loaded along with our regular ware into what should be an exceptionally lucky kiln. Come back in a few days to pick up your creation at no charge.
