Frequently Asked Questions

We discovered our love of pottery while home during the pandemic, using air-dry and oven-baked clay. When the world finally re-opened, we signed up for a pottery class, giving us access to the studio’s kiln. Our first class was learning about making pinch pots; however, we ‘may’ have been a little preoccupied and missed the instructor asking for a pinch pot from everyone before leaving. We spent the last few minutes of class pinching so fast we thought our fingers would fall off. A few weeks later, after classes on glazing and firing, we completed our intro to pottery class, and we were presented with our final pinch pots. They were terrible! We promised to hide them, never to be seen again. In early 2024, our pottery became more than a hobby, and we found ourselves needing a business name. One afternoon, our brainstorming turned into giggles as we talked about our pinch pots. Those ugly pinch pots.
