What a wonderfully mad tea party we had! The opening reception for our recent teapot show was a great success. Thanks to all who contributed sample teas and snacks. Ari Ellis of Ara Wine Bar generously donated tasty sangria, which was a great hit as well.
Making a ceramic teapot is arguably the most challenging project in functional pottery. There are so many technical aspects and countless aesthetic choices. The beautiful assortment of teapots, pitchers, and other "pots that pour" will be on display through the end of April in La Mano's gallery. Here are some photos of the work:
On December 12, from 6-9 pm, is our reception for the Holiday Sale. Please join us!
We have a wonderful display of ornaments, vases, bowls, mugs, pitchers, and more for sale with a wide price range perfect for anyone looking for a gift with a personal touch for someone special.
Gift certificates can also be purchased. They can be used towards being a monthly studio potter, paying for someone's firing fees, or for a class.
Reception: Friday, October 17th from 6-9.
Many thanks to all who made our recent Oktoberfest a smashing success! The studio was visited by over 200 people on Friday, October 17th. Everyone who purchased a mug was invited to join us in the garden for beer and soft drinks. Many La Mano artists - including students, teachers, studio potters - prepared unique drinking vessels for the evening's events.
Raku and gas kiln fired pieces are on display this month. Every summer, the staff retreat is hosted by Peggy and Howie Clarke up at their house in the Catskills. Staff members camp out on the property and do dozens of raku firings throughout the weekend.
This is but one of the ways that La Mano shows its appreciation for its staff who barter for class fees and shelf space by wedging clay and monitoring the studio during business hours.
The opening reception is Friday, December 14th from 6-9pm.
Pottery is great for gift giving!
Opening reception: Friday, October 19th from 6-9.
We'll have mugs and steins for sale, and beer to put in them. Hope you can make it!
Peggy Clarke hosted the staff retreat up at her house in the Catskills, nicknamed "La Mano North".
Along with raku, pieces were fired in her gas kiln, at cone 10.
Opening reception: Friday, May 4th from 6-9.
This was our first teapot show. It has now become an annual event. Here are some photos of the work:
