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.

New Studio/Gallery in the works

Posted on March 28, 2010 by pincupottery

Pincu Pottery is moving from a basement to a stand-alone building. Coming soon to Bryson City, NC – Pincu Pottery studio and gallery including classes in clay and one-on-one instruction! I also hope to carry a small line of pottery tools for the last-minute needs of local potheads! (that’s pottery ‘pot’ heads).

There is much to be done …. paint paint paint, furnish, etc. Need new business cards, rack cards with class info, etc. Anyone have a favorite tool they can recommend I carry?
