Question of the Day 
Question: What happens when a 2100 degree furnace is filled with 
water from a garden hose? 
Answer: We're really not sure, but we think it might be 
exciting. 

You are invited to join us this coming Monday, August 11th, as 
we shut-down our old furnace. The water-filling
should happen around 7:00PM; the only thing we can guarantee is
lots and lots of steam and possibly some noises that have never
been heard before. This is not an official planned event, its
just an opportunity to come by and hang out.

The old furnace will be torn down completely starting on August
18th. The new furnace will be installed and should be
operational by the first week of September. During the 'down
-time', we will be making lots of improvements to the shop. If
you would like to help-out, drop us an email; there may be the
opportunity to take out some aggression with a sledgehammer.

Thanks to All 
Thanks to everyone who helped with the Hotshop
Hoedown; it was a spectacular success. It meant a lot for me to
see the community come together for this event. Thanks to all
the artists who selflessly donated their art, thanks to the
staff for all the hard work in bringing the event to life,
thanks to Smokehouse, thanks to the volunteers who helped,
thanks to Sherman Mills for use of the gallery... I'm sure I'm
forgetting someone, it was a huge effort, so let me just say
"thanks"!

Class Update 
Classes through the end of the year have been posted
on our classes page; you can use the online 'Class Registration' 
feature to sign up for any of the new classes.
