Customers come from all over the state and many locals attend classes regularly. Country Ceramics is one of the businesses in the area that has survived the changing times and a challenging economy by providing an invaluable service to customers and by providing a variety of options to choose from. In fact, one could say that Country Ceramics is one of the oldest and most revered businesses in San Tan Valley.
Karen said that many people who are new to the area often overlook her shop or don’t know she is open because she is in an out of the way location. She also said that when people ask her what she does they immediately draw conclusions in their mind and compare it to the Paint Time franchise. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Country Ceramics is a living, breathing studio. Customers may come into the shop and browse the aisles and shelves full of greenware and bisque or they may order an item out of a catalog and have the piece poured and fired all at the same location. Customers may purchase paints and take their selections home, or they may choose to attend the ‘Open Class’ and work on their own project in a group setting. A variety of art supplies are also offered including brushes, paints, glazes and decals.
Karen has over 20,000 different molds to choose from and will offer assistance to those who are new to the art. A new, fun class that is being offered is Glass Fusing. Glass Fusing is basically cutting and designing glass pieces and then fusing them together in a kiln. Beautiful jewelry, candy dishes, and wall hangings are just a few of the items people have made.
Karen is a hands-on teacher and is dedicated not only to making sure that her customers are happy, but she wants them to learn something about the science and the art behind each piece they create in her studio. So, if you are looking to get out of the heat and learn something new, or just relax and have a good time, try a class at Country Ceramics. Karen and her staff will be waiting to assist you.
