The Big Build of “Kazie” has Begun at The Village Potters! Yah!! We begin the building of the much talked about and anticipated Kazegama Kiln. “We” are actually Karen Dubois and George Rolland. They began yesterday cutting metal and welding the frame (9/12/15) and today they will be back at it again. We are a few weeks behind schedule, but now it’s on! Karen and George welding the frame Metal for frame We are overwhelmed by all the support we have received by all of you on this venture! As you know, we did not reach our goal on Kickstarter. But, as we promised we will not deterred and have continued to move forward with our plan. At this point, we have backers with promised pots helping us reach over half the money needed to make our goal of 14,000. As most of you know, your Kickstarter pledge was never charged to you. Many of you have contacted us and made your pledge/purchase over the phone and we will have your pot(s) in the first firing. Thank you so much! Those of you who still want to participate in the project and get a pot out of the first firing and have not called us, you still can! Just give us a ring and join in the fun! We will get your credit card info and secure your order for a piece from the new Kazegama. 828-253-2424 M-Sat 10-6 pm Our Independent Study and Mentoring Program (ISM) will beginNov 1st with 18 students. Kazegama, aka “Kazie”, will be on the forefront of one of our first community firings in 2016. The very first firing will be filled with your pots by yours truly, The Village Potters! One of our 4 new amazing studio assistants, Margaret Ellis, will be videoing the build as well as the loading, firing and unloading of your pot(s). So stay tuned for that and watch on our website:  www.thevillagepotters.com or on Facebook www.facebook.com/thevillagepotter  Good things are afoot at The Village Potters!
