What makes us Different
We are passionate about ... Clay!
This sets us apart because it is our ONLY focus.
We are uniquely structured to provide
exceptional benefits to our clients, including:
We maintain firing cards for each student/client ...
By tracking firing per client, we ensure that you only pay for what you make and fire.
We offer an Independent Study option that is both flexible and supportive ...so you don't have to "go it alone" even if you do not want a class at the moment ;)
We are a Community of Clay Artists!!
Janet Lopatofsky
Janet has been throwing pottery for over 15 years. She was 20 years into an office career when she found pottery; primarily learning the craft from a master potter, Dom Moska, in Evanston, IL. She prefers to throw functional art as she loves knowing that her pottery is being used and enjoyed on a day-to-day basis. Janet teaches most of our throwing classes. She is technically proficient, but more importantly, she is able to explain and demonstrate the technical aspects of throwing in a way that suits her students' individual needs. Janet is also the studio's glaze application expert.
Kathleen Lipinski
Kathleen has been handbuilding for over 15 years. Her work is mainly decorative and focuses on forms with simple lines and graceful shapes. She has taught handbuilding as well as tile making and paper clay classes. Kathleen is the studio's resident glaze chemist and has formulated our cone 6 glazes.
Petey - Studio Cat
Petey is our studio cat. She is an orange tabby with a fabulous personality.
She's sweet and cuddly and loves to be petted. She enjoys the window sit just as
much as she likes to sit on a stool or wheel and watch our students throw. If she wants
to get a closer look, she'll jump up on the potter's bench and say hello.
