Hello to all of our lovely readers, students, and community members! November and December have been busy months for us here at Warwick Pottery! We welcomed November with anticipation for our 4th Annual Show and Sale, then dove head first into December, tackling our Pottery Show and Sale with vigor!
As we approach the holidays, we’re taking a moment to look back on our 4th Annual Pottery Show and Sale and share a few glaze resources we have been LOVING lately. Keep reading to see what we’ve been up to!

Thank you.
I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for all the amazing people who came together to make our event so special. We have so many thank yous to share, and I’m so filled with appreciation!
Shannon Sforza – You are truly a gem! Thank you for creating those stunning brochures and that beautiful gallery sign. Your talent shines through in everything you do! And that pocketbook you picked out? Perfection! The entryway looked incredible, thanks to your vision and generosity.
Greg Galluccio – Your lighting expertise transformed our big entry room! Those once-dark corners glowed with warmth and beauty. We were able to showcase our pottery in the best light—literally! Thank you for your brilliant touch!
Jason Steiker – You brought the vibe with your amazing playlist! Your tunes kept our spirits high and made the day so much more enjoyable. Thank you for being our go-to DJ—it truly made a difference!
Adam – You were the best-dressed host, hands down! Thank you for stepping up wherever you were needed and for bringing your positive energy to the event. You helped keep everything running smoothly, and we’re so grateful!
To Desiree’s daughter, Jasmine, and her friend – A huge shoutout for your help throughout the day! Your hard work and enthusiasm didn’t go unnoticed, and we appreciate you both so much! To all our volunteers – You made setup and cleanup a breeze! Your willingness to lend a hand made everything so much easier. We couldn’t have done it without your support, and I’m truly thankful!
Dixie Comeau – Thank you for picking up our signs and bringing them back to the center. You really saved the day!
Dan McQuade and Dan’s Mom – Those cookies and fudge were nothing short of heavenly! Thank you for treating us to such deliciousness; it absolutely sweetened the experience for everyone!
And a heartfelt thank you to everyone in the studio who took the time to post signs and posters. Your efforts really made a difference! And to everyone who put a hand on my shoulder and reminded me to breathe—I can’t tell you how much I needed that. Your support means the world to me.
With all my gratitude and love,

A Look Back…
There’s just something so special about the vibe in a pottery studio, right? All that creativity swirling around, the feel of the clay, and the excitement of sharing it with others — it’s like magic! All of us at Warwick Pottery add to that magic all the time… This year, all of our energies, whether we were at a table or not, led to fabulous holiday show. And… Ya gotta love the post-show glow, too! What was your favorite part of the show? Did you have a standout moment? Here are some pictures from our fourth show to enjoy… Thank you to all of our amazing potters and our incredible community members

How to Layer Glazes for Special Effects!
To our lovely students, please remember we are happy to fire your glazed work as long as you purchase the clay from Warwick Pottery.
There are a few of these glazes to try at the studio… However, you are encouraged to buy your own glasses to do your own experimenting. You also get extra brownie points if you provide a kiln cookie for your piece that is clean from glaze drips, and is no larger than the widest part of your piece! 😃
Below are a few glaze recommendations. All of these combinations can be found on Facebook in the following *groups: AMACO Cone 5-6 Glaze Form, Mayco Mud Room Society, and SPECTRUM HIGH FIRING GLAZES.
*Some of these are private! You will need to join in order to view these pages.
