It’s Tuesday morning, and so strange to be at Stone Leaf without the cheerful and happy Davis the Dog and her momma, Amber. Amber is heading off to California for a summer internship and Davis will be at her G’ma’s in South Dakota. They have been such wonderful additions to the SLP crew. We know you’ll miss them like we did.

Hello! It’s April and I am taking over the newsletter from Gita. I’m so excited to have this chance to talk to all of our wonderful customers!
February is starting and the first thing that comes to mind is Valentine’s Day. At Stone Leaf we love our customers so wesat down and made a list of the clay, glaze, and tools we think you bring a touch of romance to your studio spaces. We encourage you to spend a little extra time with the love of your life (pottery) this month. Nothing makes a potter happier than spending time in the studio!
With the start of the new year, Ripley and Amber have done some serious organizing of the clay warehouse, and have unearthed some clay mysteries. Our goal this year is to organize, clean, and purge as needed in preparation for our move. (I swear, we are making progress on our building renovation – FINALLY – after so many unexpected delays.)

Pottery kilns never seem very scary, until you’re staring down the face of one in your home studio. Many “what if” and “how do I” coupled with “oh no!!” moments can happen with our first electric pottery kilns.
Stone Leaf is here for you! We’re back this January 20 with our half day Electric Kiln Workshop, a class to help all potters learn how to fire an electric pottery kiln. We’ll answer the basics and more detailed questions so you leave Stone Leaf more prepared.
