Blue Cabin Pottery offers Private/small group Clay classes & workshops, located centrally in Trumbull County Ohio.
History
Work began on the Pottery studio in February 2022. The small building had sat abandoned and neglected for many years. The studio required a near total demo and renovation, including all new electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, roof, windows etc. as well as the addition of a new kiln room. At that time most of the work was made possible by donations, volunteer labor and the use of upcycled materials.
Students were welcomed for the first time nearly 2 years later in October of 2023. Since that time Blue Cabin Pottery has seen constant growth in classes, workshops and a growing community of artists. There has also been support through donations of kiln bricks and shelves to build the nearly complete gas kiln, funds for a Raku kiln, Bricks for a small wood kiln, barrel kiln, the addition of a brand new Amish built work shed and materials for the kiln yard roof.
Future
Moving forward and with your support we hope to complete the build of the Blue Cabin Pottery Studio, and in doing so expand what we are able to offer to our artistic community. With the completion of these projects we will be able to move forward with offering expanded Children's classes, outdoor Summer workshops, reduction gas kiln firing, expanded classroom area, increased storage for student work and a safer more completed studio/educational space.
The following is a list of projects that we are hoping to complete in the near future:
Kiln Yard roof(Nearly complete)!
Gas kiln Burners and safety features
Studio Ceiling install(1/2 complete)!
Permanent lighting in Kiln room
Outdoor Classroom
Expansion of parking area
