Always enjoy coming into the store and spending too much money! Haha I just can't help myself. Employees are very knowledgeable and super helpful. Thanks again for another great experience.

I traveled a long way to get there, passing the other "local" major supplier along the way. This shop had what I needed, and although I initially came off as fairly high-strung, the staff was patient and helpful. Many staffers helped assemble my order, and answered my billion questions so that I could make good choices. Thank you for excellent service! I bought a wide variety of supplies and came away excited to finish setting up my studio. Great place!

I was in a pinch for an upcoming show with glazes and Mirin (apologize if that's not the correct spelling) came through in the clutch to help me out! She personally took care of my order and left me feeling like everything was going to be okay. You're awesome Mirin! And Clay Art Center, thank you for hiring her and making amazing glazes. I will be purchasing from the east coast again and again and again. You have made another customer very happy!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Do they have a kiln for greenware?

Quentin Bougher | Aug 14, 2022

We sell kilns for all firing temperatures.

Are there public use kilns here? I want to get back into pottery but I can't afford to buy a kiln right now so I could I bring a project and get it fired?

This is a very good shop. Not sure if they rent kiln space...The crew is knowledgeable and tho busy will usually take as much time as you need to answer questions. It's small but loaded with all the latest materials and tools. It's a Fun visit!

Does Clay Arts carry a metalic bronze glaze? The one I had been using was discontinued. I believe it is not food safe, however I am not using it for serving pieces, only decorative ware. Thank you for your information. Best Regards, Robin
