Mugs, Mugs, Mugs!
What’s on our mind these days? MUGS. We’ve been busy bees in the studio making all the mugs. Tall, short, extra large, carved, inlaid – you name it, we’re making it. In fact, I can hear Coo downstairs in the studio carving patterns and listening to her book on tape as type this. No secrets…
2022 at a Glance
As I look back at the year behind, I’m left with a feeling of – wow, we did a lot. We’ve got a hefty to-do list already planned for 2023, so it’s encouraging to reflect back on 2022 and see all the tasks and activities that took place. Good motivation for the new year! Come…
Ornament Making Night
Each year, in the second weekend of November, we host one of our favorite holiday studio events – Ornament Making Night! We’re happy to report we had another smashing Ornament Making Night this year in the studio. Guests made about 90-100 ornaments this year AND THEY WERE ALL SO GOOD! We really felt like, as…
Fall Art Tour 2022
Another Fall Art Tour is in the books. These last few months have been jam-packed in the studio for us. We fired about a kiln a week from mid-September until the tour. It was a lot. But we have so many new pots! Thank you, thank you, thank you – From the bottom of our…
2021 at a Glance
As 2021 comes to a close and we prepare to round the corner and head on into 2022, I thought it’d be nice to do a year end round up. I always quite enjoy end of the year round ups (and 365 day long projects, but that’s for another post) and I’m excited for this…
Porcelain Mugs

Slipping + Carving Bowls
Slipping and carving bowls? Sorta sounds bad, like they’re slipping off a shelf and then getting carved up like a Thanksgiving turkey or something. Don’t worry– Definitely not the case. Slip is what we apply our some of our pieces. Specifically, the ones that end up getting patterns carved into them. Hence the slipping and…
Bisque Firing in January
Hello again! If you’ve read the last several posts detailing the trays that were made and carved last week, you’ll see that today is chapter three for those puppies. Welcome to the next chapter– firing the bisque kiln. First (above), all the pots are walked, from the pottery studio, across and through the gallery, to…
Carving Time
All those trays you saw in the previous post, well, they got whisked away to Slippycarve town. Yes, that’s a real place. And we go there often. In fact, every piece of pottery that you see at Brewery Pottery that has our signature blue slip with a pattern carved into it, has made a journey…
