Ever wonder where the references to Ryefield Ceramics comes from? Sometimes it pops up on a Facebook post or you may have seen it scratched in the bottom of a piece of pottery you’ve painted. Turns out, Ryefield Ceramics and Your Creation Station are one in the same. As Your Creation Station approaches its third anniversary and Ryefield Ceramics approaches its sixth, I thought I would give you the quick and dirty lowdown of how we got here…

Your Creation Station is joining with the Real Charitable Housewives of Delaware as a drop off location for their School Supply Drive for Delaware’s Adopt a Student Program. The program puts school supplies into the hands of students who wouldn’t otherwise have them. Starting now and lasting for the entire month of August, the RCHD will be collecting ANY AND ALL kinds of school supplies at drop off location in a number of businesses throughout the state.
There are a lot of really cool things about pottery and one of them is how dramatically the color changes in the kiln. We’re always being asked questions like…”Is this really going to come out red?” and ”If putting more coats on makes it darker, how come it keeps getting lighter the more I paint?” Although it generally only takes one cycle of painting and firing to convince the uninitiated, the change is always amazing no matter how often you see it. Here’s a couple of pictures of a piece I painted that shows just far it can go.

Well its turns out bunny rabbits and spring go together and Fired Snow adds a billowy white texture to the ceramic surface its applied to. Among other things, its perfect for making clouds, bunny tails, kitty cat cheeks and, of course, snow. Having the consistency of paste, its easy to work with and is a great way to add an extra little touch to your piece. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to use and apply Fired Snow. Continue reading
We’ve stocked a new type of glaze at Your Creation Station called Magic Flow. The glazes create the effect you would see on a piece of ash glazed pottery, with rivulets of glaze running down the pot. To demonstrate how it the glaze looks we’re going to use a combination of glazes and underglazes to finish a thrown cup. Continue reading
