Support your local art store! Helpful and friendly staff. I’m new to ceramics, and they were very helpful with my questions.
Really cool that they offer kiln firing services.

Great local art store, staff is friendly and passionate about providing guidance and assistance. One of the only places in the metro that sells clay and ceramic supplies and offers kiln firing services. They also display and sell work of local artists.
