5 Awesome Pottery Gifts to Add to Your List

November 30, 2020 by Brandon "Fuzzy" Schwartz 2 Comments

It’s that time of year… time to start thinking about giving (and getting!) gifts. As a potter, are you always thinking about what can help you make better pots AND help support our pottery community? Here are some pottery gifts you can add to your wish list.

5 Awesome Pottery Gifts

But not just a bunch of stuff you can buy from Amazon! I want to support small businesses and independent makers. And though we would all love to get a pugmill or a fancy new kiln I’ll keep this list closer to the “average gift during uncertain times” price range. But you won’t find any average gifts here!

Clay Blog Review: January 2018

February 26, 2018 by Brandon "Fuzzy" Schwartz 2 Comments

Happy New Year! Wait, what? It’s almost March?!

Okay, I’m a little late with the Clay Blog Review. Actually, I’ve had thoughts of putting it on hold temporarily. I’ve been busy working on the new site over at expertclay.com. If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out. There are big things planned. Perhaps the CBR will come out less frequently, or maybe not at all for a while. Or maybe I’ll just offer a trimmed down version. We’ll see. Thanks to everyone who follows along and the bloggers who share so much on their blogs. I hope 2018 brings you what you want.

Top Pottery Blogs of 2017

January 5, 2018 by Brandon "Fuzzy" Schwartz 5 Comments

Who had the top pottery blogs of the past year? Check this list to find out if your favorite blog made it!

Top Pottery Blogs of 2017

Every month I scan as many blogs about pottery and ceramics as I can find. I put all the best stuff I find each month in a list called the Clay Blog Review. The list below shows the 17 blogs that were mentioned the most in the Clay Blog Review (CBR) during 2017. Pottery bloggers have shared so much great content this year that I needed THREE posts to share all their best tips. (Find them here: 12 Tips for Making Pots, 13 Decorating Tips, 18 MORE Pottery Tips.)

And if you enjoy reading about pottery and ceramics, you can sign up for the Pottery Making Newsletter.
