Phase Two

For those who used to read the Potblog we are back. For those of you who are new....we are still back...for the first time! Out of the Fire Studio has been in existence since 1997 in one iteration or another, and recently we moved to this location and opened up a store front, or "gallery". we were strictly wholesale potters for a number of years and then last year we decided we were not, physically, going to be able to push another ten tons of clay through the place in a year, so...we changed our focus a bit. While we still are a working pottery, we are now much more. Not only do we sell our stoneware pottery but we have original paintings by Alberta artists, stone sculpture from Zimbabwe Africa, hand blown glass from Romania, Phoenician hand spun glass, Alberta beeswax candles (as long as we have bees!....that's another story) , and we have pottery by Junici Tanaka from Maple Ridge BC and will shortly have pottery by Lilach Lotan, a renowned ceramicist from British Columbia as well. In early July we expect to have a large glass display arrive from Romania from glassblower Ion Tamian. As an added treat we currently have a Vatican authorized casting of Michelangelo's Madonna della Pieta in bronze loaned to us by a friend. Mari Sasano who writes for the Edmonton Journal called it an"ecletic collection" and our rule of thumb is if we like it it goes in the store. We are also working on aproject with artist Richard Dixon and I'll write more about that later. For now...gotta get to work. Later.
