Hi all! I was thinking it might be fun to book open studio time somewhere as a group some day! Not sure if it’d need to be separate for throwing vs hand building, but thought I’d see if there was a) interest and b)if interest, north vs south Austin, then c) calling some studios to see what’s possible. So sound off in comments if you’d be interested!

Hi everybody! I’m Mary Helen, the founder of ATX Kiln Club, a tiny community studio in Austin, Texas. Kiln Club exists to help the home based artists in our community thrive. We offer firing services, studio space, workshops, and events to folks in our own neighborhood, and I’m excited to expand our amazing community of creative and curious artists to the rest of the world here on Skool. I am a part time ceramics artist and instructor, mom of two, and freelance food stylist (basically a chef for the camera). I’ve been working with clay for almost a decade now, and I really love sharing what I’ve learned with others. I can’t wait to get to know you all here in our Skool community. Please use this thread to introduce yourself. Tell us where you are from, a little about your own experience with clay and pottery, and maybe a fun fact like your favorite food or secret talent. I’ll go first, I love sushi! 🍣

Let’s see what everyone is working on. Use this thread to share your works in progress. I’ll start! My sculpture student and I worked on these hand built masks earlier this week. I’m waiting for them to dry before their bisque fire!
