Fired Earth Pottery Studio

Fired Earth Pottery has evolved over the years into a regional community clay center with classes, art residents, and private studio space. It is a large  3,000 sq ft space located on the second floor of the commercial building at the corner of Pacific and Morrison Streets just 5 blocks north of downtown Appleton.

Rick, Angie, Courtney, Craig, and Debbie teach classes here to beginners and more advanced students during fall, winter, and spring sessions. The classes offer basic to advanced instruction on hand-building, throwing, glazing, and kiln firing.  For those who wish to go further with explorations in clay (or glazes), the space also provides an art residency program. Email FiredEarthPottery@gmail.com if you are interested in the art residency (renting) program.

The facilities at the studio consist of 10 wheels, a large electric kiln, a small Olympic gas-fired updraft kiln, a 40 cubic foot Donovan Palmquist (Master Kiln Builders) downdraft kiln, a glaze room, and lots of workspace.

And, of course, happy students!

The electric kiln is where the pots are fired before being glazed.

After the pots are glazed, they are loaded onto shelves to organize them for loading into the gas-fired glaze kiln.
