Heath Ceramics Open Studio
Busy weekends for pottery and ceramics - Heath Ceramics is holding their May Open Studio & Sale this weekend May 1-3 at the Los Angeles studio and next weekend May 8-10 at the Sausalito location.
They have quite a few activities planned for the open studio, the one we’re sorta interested in is the free Tile Glazing that they are offering. They’ll give each person a 6×6 tile and let them perform glaze experiments on it right there in the studio! Then they’ll fire it and you can pick it up the next weekend. Adam Silverman will be on hand to talk about the studio and his unique pottery, and they’ll also have a historical slip cast demonstration with a Heath item.
I also hear that they’ll be offering a few vintage Heath Ceramics pieces for sale through the Heath Trust. This will probably consist of some of the small ceramic buttons and tiles that Edith made as “kiln fillers” - I’m not sure if they’ll be offering them at both the LA and Sausalito stores. In addition, there will be a 20% discount in effect for everything in the store.
