Howdy K,
It's almost time for Back-to-School. We're here to help you get ready and be prepared. We are putting another Laguna order together now, so please let us know what your needs are for the Fall Semester.
We now offer a wide variety of in-store-only specials along with the ones featured on our website. Check them out at Flat Rock Clay website, and come in to benefit from the in-store specials that change regularly (such as - 20% off all pint glazes). Just a little "Thanks" for your business these past 3+ years.
Happy mud fingers, Kelley & Mike

Ramblings of a Mud Girl
OK, so every once in a great while, a project comes along that really speaks to us. While I was living in DFW, I became aware of a project called Empty Bowls where potters and other artists make bowls and then hold a simple soup dinner to raise money for feeding the hungry. Each person who buys a soup dinner gets to pick out a bowl and take it home as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.
This is something I have wanted to get together since I moved back but could not find the right partners. I have been donating things to Seven Hills (we moved my grandmother out of her apartment) and just met Dianna Carpenter. It has all come together along with Suzie Stephens ,chef extraordinare and Brian Crowne of George's Majestic Lounge.
We will be having our first Bowl-a-Thon at the Fay Fine Arts, Sat and Sun Sept 2-3. We need volunteers in the booth helping the public make and decorate their bowls for free. We will be having a few other bowl-a-thons here at Flat Rock during Sept and Oct. And, I am asking every one of you to try to make one bowl a week from now until Nov 1 to donate. We have a goal of 500 bowls this year. Our gourmet $25 Soup Dinner will be at George's Majestic Lounge, Tuesday November 14 and we will have musical accompaniment with the LR group "Recovery".
