We’re testing some new red glazes at Atlanta Clay – a hot crystalline glaze and several different red stains – so bring your jars and come get some to test! We’ll be giving out samples as long as they last and if you bring the piece back we’ll display it on our shelves! The Green Show was a great success, and we’re looking forward to seeing all the great work you guys create this time!

For the November/December edition of our newsletter and more info on the Red glaze giveaway – check out our newsletter here.

Also – because we love Thanksgiving (and our customers ) so much… we’re having an After Thanksgiving Sale!! Come in Saturday, November 28th and enjoy some pretty awesome, super secret sales!! There might even be some elves running around!

And if you’re interested in receiving our newsletter, sign up here.

Thanks to everyone who brought in amazing work to show off all our green glazes – what a success!! Check out the pictures –

And thanks to everyone who brought a pot in to live with us here at Atlanta Clay – we love them! If you have a piece you’d like to display – bring it in! We’d be honored to have your work here to inspire other artists - and it can be any color, not just green!

We’ll be doing another round of glaze testing starting in November.  Hmmm, I wonder what color we should do next… for the holidays… hmmm…. RED!!! So stay tuned for our next giveaway and hopefully we’ll see your pots very soon!

Below you’ll find our Sept/Oct. Newsletter, chock full of interesting facts and fun tidbits. You can click here to find it. Also, you can sign up to receive our newsletter here.

We need your help!

As a new store – with lots of new glaze lines – we need your help to test them out. Come in with an empty glaze jar (or any small jar) and get a free sample of some of our new glazes! After much debate our green – and yes, chartreuse too, glazes won out as the color to be tested. And what does this mean for you? Well, the first 30 or so people who make it in with a jar can have a free glaze sample and bring their piece back in once its fired to display for others to see. Hey, that’s a free glaze and a free show!! We have both lowfire and highfire glazes so hurry in – these colors won’t last long!

Also, our August Newsletter is out and it’s chock full of good stuff like information about our monthly sales, our monthly Q+A and new items you can only find at Altanta Clay! Click here to view it.

   Potters beware…..Erik Haagensen is running around town posting flyers with reckless abandon.  Guard your light posts, guard your magnet boards, guard your babies. What is he posting? The MudFire 2009 Summer/Fall Workshop booklet where you can learn about all the amazing artists MudFire brings in.  Why is he posting these booklets with such zeal? Because the artists are amazing, that’s why. And also because this weekend Nancy Selvin will be presenting “Still Life with Print” where you can learn how to screen images onto handbuilt forms…. and people that’s amazing and you should go. So now you’re interested in these alleged flyers huh? And you’re intrigued as to what  amazing workshops MudFire might still have to offer? Lucky you…. click here to go to MudFire’s website and see for yourself the amazing lineup!!! Janis Mars Wunderlich, Paul Andrew Wandless, Bonnie Seeman and more!!! Amazing!!!
