This October, LET'S LEARN ABOUT...making ceramics!

Not all ceramic pieces are created equally. This ancient art form dates back thousands of years ago. Thanks to potters of the past and evolving technology, ceramic wares are now accessible to everyone. Allow us to take you through the process and perhaps you will develop a renewed appreciation for the bowls, cups, and plates in your kitchen cabinets!
