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 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!

Atlanta Clay is going Green!!! We’re happy to report that we’re 100% GREEN through the support of our friends at Riot Grrl Ink. Thanks Riot Grrl!!
