My favorite coffee is anything I can have already made in the morning! I wake up excited to have a cup of coffee!
I have a question, where can I find a “dot maker” to purchase?
Thanks for your help and the awesome tutorials!

Hi Lynsey,

We fire our pottery in kilns. Our kilns reach 1,800 degrees F +, which is much hotter than an oven is capable of reaching. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

How to Paint Pottery & Ceramics: Ombre Effect

The effect of going from light to dark colors is called "ombre." It looks great and is super easy! You can apply the ombre effect to many pieces of pottery, and you can use all kinds of colors (we have so many different shades of pink in our studios, it's not even funny)! My favorite alternate title for this video blog is: Four Shades of Purple!
