Magic Castle Ceramics
created by Kathleen Edwards
Welcome to Magic Castle Ceramics This is now the new home of K Edwards Studio. I decided to combine both web sites, make them smart phone friendly and easier to navigate and maintain. If you have suggestions for the site, contact me at the email link at the bottom of the page.
I am only doing one show nowThe Blue Ridge Potters Guild Show and Sale
at Patrick Henery High School Cafeteria.
It is held in October - the date for 2012 will be announced closer to the time.
I will make and sell pieces all year long from my home. If you are interested in purchasing something send me an email and we can discuss timing and price. Almost all of what you see in this web site are pieces that have been sold, but I often make similar things - especially, if someone wants to buy it.
All my work is made of high fire clay. Pieces are fired to 2000 degrees and use food safe glazes. They are technically oven, microwave and dishwasher safe, but a fast temperature change can cause thin parts, like horns, to spontaneously break because of uneven stresses, and many are delicate enough to require gentle handling.
To make a purchase, email me ekathy@cox.net

This is an absolutly beautiful place to look at real house plans. Livable interiors and "to die for" exteriors and even the links to the places needed to build a real dream home, right down to the door knobs.

Mud in Mind: Pottery Wheels, Ceramic Kilns, and Potters supplies
This is the Artista potters wheel I purchased . It does not come with the foot peddle, but has a hand speed control, which I feel is superior. It goes from VERY slow to very fast. I didn't get the legs either. I put it on a sturdy 5 gal bucket to throw sitting down and on the table to throw standing up. Until I saw it being used by a potter I knew, I thought it was a toy, but it is a real working wheel. Very neat machine. It really is able to be lifted easily and would store on a sturdy shelf. No, it doesn't slide around when you center clay, at least is doesn't for me, nor did it for my friend. A DVD comes with it that does a pretty good job of explaining how to throw a pot for the beginner. I don't like the way they show you how to trim, it would wreck a good pot in my estimation, but it is one way of doing it.
Aqua Med Lotion My favorite hand lotion - it has no fragerance at all and keeps this potter's hands happy
