Studio Sales Pottery is actually 3 businesses. At the barn we have a working and teaching pottery studio. Pottery classes for all levels are offered in the fall, winter and spring.

Next door to the barn is a renovated one room schoolhouse originally built in 1853. The space has been returned to the one room cofiguration and is a gallery space showing my work and the work of several other artisans. The current page for this is the "gallery" page on the left butwatch for the schoolhouse#3 website this spring.

The barn is also the location of my pottery supply business which has been selling wheels, kilns, clay, glazes, tools and more to the pottery community of Western New York since 1979.

to go in the noborigama.

The noborigama.
The stoneware that is made at Studio Sales Pottery is a durable, non-toxic pottery. The glazes are lead and barium free and safe for use in ovens and dishwashers. A hand made piece of pottery will function best if preheated with the oven, but pieces will withstand going from room temperatures into a heated oven. Hand made pots should not be taken from a refrigerator or freezer and put into an oven! The Raku pottery made at Studio Sales Pottery is a decorative work and not meant for any kind of food preparation or service.

In 1999, Studio Sales Pottery built a wood fired kiln, a "noborigama". Noborigama is a Japanese term for a kiln with more than one chamber. From warm earth tones to glossy crystalline glazes on rich, durable clay surfaces, these pots and sculptures are some of Studio Sales' best work to date.
