Spring is finally here!!!!
Announcing new vanGilder Glazes at Atlanta Clay – Bill van Gilder has formulated a line of 6 (and growing!) recipes. New also in the store -to be more GREEN for spring – we are starting a swap pile here – so if there is a glaze or tool you bought and it didn’t tickle your fancy – bring it and trade for someone else’s. We ask that no clay or unlabled glazes be left at the swap because it could potentially damage someone’s kiln to fire a product incorrectly. Check back with us soon – and be sure to visit us at NCECA – Booth 328!
