An EDGY Kind of Conference

Tracy has been very busy making and packing all the 
Hydro-bats and Hydro-stone hump molds for NCECA.


Are all you potters ready for NCECA? This year is going to be great and we're getting really excited here at The Ceramic Shop. Apart from having three booth spaces (making it our biggest year yet), we are launching several new products AND have a demoing artist!

First, we are proud to be hosting a local artist. Sandi Perantozzi of Neighborhood Potters (http://sandiandneil.com/) will be sharing a booth with us and demonstrating her own product: the Circle-Matic. For years Sandi was using templates to make cups, vases and the like. People kept telling her she should market her templates and finally she did. Aren't we glad she did? We sell the Circle-Matic on our website and in store. You can see a sample of how to use the Circle-Matic by watching this video: 


So I mentioned we're launching some new products? We started making miniature hump molds that will be sold exclusively through Shimpo. We are also launching our very own wax, called Wax Off! It can be painted on and peeled off, thus the name: Wax Off! We will have a longer blog talking about our wax and we hope to have a demonstration up shortly. If you have any question please let me know! We will also be selling full color ceramic decals. The decals are pre-made, but in a way that you can still use them to make creative and personal pieces. These decals will be limited edition so when we're out we wont make be making anymore. You'll just have to collect and horde them, I suppose. As usual we will be selling Hydro-bats and our own hump molds at conference prices.

If you're attending NCECA please stop by and check out all of our deals! Our booth numbers are 225,227, and 229.  Mark, Aaron and Megan will be manning the booth and would love to see you and say, “Hi!”  And if you're in the Philadelphia area and can't make it to NCECA stop in and say, "Hi." to those of us left behind to man the shop!
