A finished ghost mailbox on black velvet
A working ceramics studio in [TOWN], since [SINCE YEAR]

Poured by Dave. Painted by you. Fired right here.

The catalog

Pieces to pour

Hundreds of molds, by holiday, each with its red mold number from Lisa's binder. Choose one. Dave pours it. You paint it.

Finished work

On the shelf this month

A new shelf every month, hung like a small show. What came out of the kiln, who painted it, which glazes they chose.

A note from Lisa

Every piece in this studio began as liquid clay in Dave's hands. It ends as something you painted, fired at [TEMP] degrees, and kept for years.

That is the whole idea. Not a craft aisle, a working studio, with a kiln that fires every week and a shelf that changes every month. Come for an afternoon. Leave with a piece you made.

Exhibition No. 10 · October

Haunted, hand-painted, and home by Halloween

Lisa changes the wall on the first of every month. What is hung here is what came out of the kiln.

The studio process

Four steps, two pairs of hands, one of them yours

  1. 01

    Pour

    Dave pours liquid slip into plaster molds. A day later the piece comes out, soft and grey.

  2. 02

    Clean

    Seams are shaved, edges sponged, and the bisque fires once so it is hard enough to hold.

  3. 03

    Paint

    Your part. Brushes, glazes and a chair at the big table. Here, or at home with a kit.

  4. 04

    Fire

    Into the kiln at [TEMP] degrees. The colors turn glossy and true. Then it goes on the shelf.

The people

Lisa and Dave Ingleby

Studio owner, and the one who pours

Lisa runs the studio, teaches the classes and keeps the binder. Dave pours every piece and runs the kiln. Some of the grandkids help on the busy weekends.
