Clay Atelier Clay Atelier is a Potter's workshop and gallery. Clay Atelier is a Clay workshop/studio/gallery. My work is hand-built with soft slab clay. Arlene

I begin with a rolled, flat piece of clay and then mold it into the shape I'm looking for. The clay is soft and I can bend it, twist, dart, texture, with so many variations to try. Clay is always new, and takes me in interesting directions, to my delight. My work ends up being eclectic as I enjoy trying new shapes and techniques. The gallery evolved as an extension of meeting great local artists and an interest in showcasing that art. The Studio has two Art Sales each year with different featured artists along with my pottery. We are also starting pottery classes because pottery is too much fun to keep to myself. Please feel free to contact me and stop on by.

Some photos of the raku and saggar prep and firing. A couple of big nights of a great experience for everyone. It was a participation pull that certainly added to the experience. At our final party, Miss Mayka insisted on joining the fun.

Ron and I had our 29th wedding anniversary and Mitch at Bookwalter Winery bought out a bottle of w**e made the year we got married. Pretty darn special and pretty nice guy. Along with the one I married.

A couple of my favorites from the last firing. The cube vase is soooo fun and the plate would beautifully grace any table. I need to get busy and photograph some more of my work…..just siting while I finish up the last of the pottery classes this year.

So graceful and I love the blue/grey glaze. It was fun to change up the handles and the arc of the pitchers.
