January
We want to help you beat the January blahs! So, all month long,
we're waiving the studio fee! You pay only for the bisque you select --- we'll
pick up the cost of the glazes & firing!!! We suggest you allow at least 1
hour of studio time -- but take as long as you like! Available during regular
hours!
