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!

What are your children doing this summer? Avoid the heat and bring them to Quiggly's!

M/W/F is general camp, where we paint, sculpt and mosaic.

T/TH is Pottery Wheel Camp- all we do is throw on the potter's wheel!

Camp will be held both AM & PM, with weekly themes throughout the summer. Click on the picture or the link below to learn more and to download a registration form!


Want to Break Up?
 
Broken-Dish Mosaics Breaks Up Mid-Week Monotony
mosaic ladies

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.


Glass Fusing is Here!
 
You won't believe how much fun this is!

Glass Fusing 101 is held every other Thursday, at 6:30 and is so easy! Don't delay, call today!


Raku comes to Quiggly's from Japan
 
Holy Smokes! You have to see this crazy, fiery process!
raku fire

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!


Don't Feel Grounded?
 
Create something from the "ground up" in no time!
pottery party

Join the fun and create a masterpiece with no boundaries.

Use our SLAB ROLLER and roll out sheets of clay to build boxes, signs, wall-hanging clocks, etc.

Squish out coils of clay with our EXTRUDER and build virtually anything imaginable, from your very own chiminea, to cereal bowls, mugs and action figures!

Or rent our POTTERY WHEEL and go wild "Ghost style" --> Couples can rent the wheel in tandem and throw clay side by side!. The fun is virtually endless!

Not sure what to do? Sign up for instruction- We can teach you the Italian or American way!
