Greetings!
Happy Easter everyone,
we hope this weekend has been a fun and blessed
one
for all of you. Quiggly's kilns have been burning
almost daily, and Kirby & I are excited to send you
some news!
We've been open now for more than six months!
Since October, we have helped
hundreds of families create masterpieces, have fired
more than 3000 pottery items, and taught so many
children in the community how to sculpt with
clay and throw on the potter's wheel that we can't
keep track!
Kirby and I would like to thank you for your interest
in
Quiggly's Clayhouse and its art education programs.
Your support has proved to us that we are doing a
good thing in the right community.
Read on to learn about our new events this month,
Summer Camp for the kiddies, Raku-
Evenings just for adults, and Glass Fusing 101
(beginning this Thursday)!
Thanks again- we are truly blessed to have such
great customers.
Go Quiggly!

Broken-Dish Mosaics Breaks Up Mid-Week Monotony
Call and sign up for a Quiggly's exclusive! Twice a
week we host a mosaics workshop where you learn
to design your own mosaic masterpiece.
For each
two- week project you will receive a base
object to mosaic and an endless supply of broken
dishes, plus all materials needed! Do you have any
broken dishes that you just can't toss out? Bring
them in and turn them into a lasting
masterpiece!
On your first visit, we will teach you how to pick out
the right pieces, then glue and apply them onto the
base object. Your project must cure once all pieces
are glued on, so your next visit must be the following
week. At this time, you will learn how to grout your
nearly-finished project.
And remember! If
you need
to let loose, bring in your own dishes and break away!
Projects: Tuesdays @ 7 P.M. & Wednesdays @ 2
P.M.

Raku comes to Quiggly's from Japan
|
|
Holy Smokes! You have to see this crazy, fiery process!
If you have ever heard of it, then you know. Raku
involves placing a red-hot piece of pottery into a
trash can full of paper and closing the lid.
The fire
leaches into the glaze on the piece looking for fuel,
rips out ions and turns the piece metallic. Everything
not painted turns black from the smoke!
Raku is offered every other Thursday evening at 6:30
P.M. You will paint a handmade piece designed
specifically to accentuate the metallic glazes and
firing process!

etc.
