Pottery Open, sort of.

Posted on April 27, 2010 by pincupottery

Pincu Pottery is almost open! Come check it out any time next week Tuesday – Saturday from 10-4!

80 Highway 28 South, Bryson City, North Carolina.

Pretty much just off 19/74 – you can see King’s Grocer (formerly Texaco) from my shop.

Class schedules to come – tools are comin’ in!

New sign - ready for business!

In case you didn’t get the phone number, it’s 488-0480. No need to call if you come during open hours!

Pincu Pottery carries Bamboo Tools which are not available locally. Pretty soon, come check out the selection of tools from Chinese Clay Art, and DooWoo tools! Hopefully Dolan tools are just around the corner, too. If you have any ideas for tools, just ask!

I want to offer tools without the shipping/handling fees for all those in the boonies. Come, fondle the tools, choose and walk away with a new tool. Better than shopping online!

Stand Alone Studio

Posted on April 15, 2010 by pincupottery

It’s done. Paint is on the walls, potter’s wheel has moved in. I just need to finish my counter and have the signs painted. Oh – and get rack cards and other marketing materials out.

Thanks to Jeff, my wonderful husband, my parents who, at age 70, helped paint, and to all the well wishers out there. I hope to open next week.

Here are some photos:

My wheel is in the studio!

Pincu Pottery Studio - buy some pots!

There it is folks. I hope to have tools for sale by the end of next week, too! Stop by, chat, etc. I hope to be in on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Thanks to all of you who have sent good thoughts to this new venture. Stay tuned for class schedules, etc.!

Inside Kiln Arch

JoeFrank McKee and his students have worked diligently during Tuesday and Thursday night class to build the kiln. So far, so good. We have an arch. Thursday the back is bricked in and we start the climb upwards for the flu/chimney.

If all goes right, we should be firing in a few weeks! Yippers!

Thanks, JoLynn, for bringing a truckload of wood!

My next post will be about my new studio. An update on how its coming along.
