School is back and so are our Student Employees! They’re starting off the semester trying something new: making with a white clay instead of our usual brown clay. We love having our studio full again!

Our “Seconds Sale” is tomorrow at North Lime Coffee & Donuts! Come check out our pieces that have a smidge of extra wonkiness.

Every once in a while, a piece does end up the way we want it to. Maybe the glaze drooped, or a color didn’t out quite right, or it just a bit of extra “wonkiness.” Either way, these misfits are perfectly usable, so we thought we’d share these “seconds” at a big discount!

Come by the North Lime Coffee & Donuts Limestone location tomorrow from 8:30am-12pm to see what we have!

We’ve been working on lots of custom orders lately, and Danny has stepped up to help! Over the summer, Danny learned to create stamps in CAD software, and then print those models using our 3D printer. We’re excited to have him back this semester as part of the co-op program, and very thankful to have his help! 🖥️

We’re having another “Seconds Sale” next Saturday at North Lime Coffee & Donuts!

Every once in a while, a piece doesn’t end up the way we want it to. Maybe the glaze drooped, or a color didn’t come out quite right, or it has just a bit of extra “wonkiness.” These misfits are still perfectly usable, so we thought we’d share these “seconds” at a big discount!

Come by the North Lime Coffee & Donuts Limestone location from 8:30am-12pm on Saturday, August 22 to see what we have!

We tried a new skill this summer: screenprinting! Before our students could print their artwork onto ceramics, we first needed to recreate their sketchs digitally. Michele, our Studio Lead (and a soon-to-be graduate of UK’s Design School!) showed our team exactly what goes into this process. 👩🏽‍💻

A surprise joy from this summer was that Shammah, a former Matchstick Student Employees, rejoined us for a summer internship! Since working with us and graduating, he’s been studying Economics at UK. This summer, instead of making pottery, Shammah has been putting his new skills to use by helping to create a comprehensive cost analysis for Matchstick Goods. 💵

We’re so thankful for all the work he contributed to making sure that we have all the information we need to be able to run our business!
