Santa Claus was at Wheel Art Pottery Studios

Every new kiln takes several firing before a potter has it figured out.  I have been working on figuring my gas kiln out since June.  I have all the bugs worked out and these are the results of what I have been getting.  If you would like to purchase any of my work, please contact me at jacob@thepottershouse18.com

Enjoy!
