Rivalry plates....

Kick-off is just a few weeks away, and these plates are great for a tail-gate!

Clay hand- and footprints

Want to preserve hands and feet in clay?

We're now making clay prints available. We'll get a print in the clay, bisque-fire it so you can come back to paint and decorate your piece.

These round tiles are 6.5" across, and cost $20 each (which includes your return trip to paint). These are great for baby's hands and feet! We're also able to do pet paw prints!

We will only be able to do these by appointment, and it will take approximately two weeks to get your tile back in bisque, and then another week after you paint it for it to be glazed and fired.

Call to make your appointment today!

Pumpkin time!

We're carving pumpkins, and I know it seems early... but the cut-off to get your pumpkin by Halloween is September 1! Each pumpkin is $45, and we can customize it with as many as eight letters for the teeth.

Here's one of our favorites from last year...
