Fire Escape

Happy Halloween all you Boo-tacular humans

Pottery for provisions program. NEW IDEA! These hand painted pottery pieces have been unclaimed for 5 years. And instead of packing them up for a thrift store we figured we would offer them in exchange for a food bank donation. For great little hand made stocking stuffers come on down to Fire Escape with a can of something or some pasta and get a wee pottery item.

These folks painted one of our hand build pieces up to resemble their cat. Purrrrfect results. At Fire Escape we do custom pieces that you can paint. Call 403-457-1857 for more information.

Look at those wee smiles! Some might wonder what age is good for pottery painting. But the magic of glaze in kiln makes it all special. Our studio is open for Pottery Painting Thursday to Sunday from noon to 8 pm. Small numbers can be a walk-in. Larger groups can book, Call 403-457-1857 for more information, or contact our email: [email protected]

Book your Hand Building Session soon. Call 403-457-1857

In our guided hand building session we show you the 3 basic principles behind shaping clay without the aid of a machine, like the pottery wheel. We show you coiling; this is the making of a long snake like shape, and then building with that form. We demonstrate the pinch pot, this is when clay is pinched and pulled into a shape. And, we do slabbing; this is when the clay is rolled out flat. From there you can use a combination of any of those three techniques to build almost any shape you can think of.

2 hour slab sessions are $35 per adult and $25 per kid. This includes 1 pound of clay, guidance, tools and the first firing. Kiln turn around time is 3 weeks, then you can come back and paint your pieces. We do charge the studio painting fee of $9 per adult and $6 per kid, to cover paint, resources and the extra kiln time. Then we fire them again and that takes about 2 weeks.
