We are happy to still have some of our handcrafted stoneware pottery available through a select group of retailers. Please visit them when you are in their area. We represented Alberta artists: J.C. Brager, Richard Dixon, Linda Fisher, Edward Flanagan, Lynne Huras, Betty Jess, Lorraine Oberg, Oksana Zhelisko and Laura Watmough and galleries of some of their work can be seen here when you visit the paintings pages. See historic Alberta Pottery. Charles Hilton Pottery which was on display in the gallery for a few months. We were privileged to show a bronze casting a bust from Michelangelo's Madonna della Pieta. While it has now left the studio you can still view the slide show... The last show we attended was the Butterdome Craft show in May of 2008. While there Cindy demonstrated wheel throwing and enjoyed some time with the entertainer at the event Cat Jahnke.
A Brief History: Out of the Fire Studio was established as a pottery studio in Edson Alberta in 1999 by Cindy Clarke. Joined soon after by Jim Willett the couple relocated the pottery to Edmonton Alberta in 2001 where it became a source for pottery for over 45 retailers across western Canada. Based on the belief by Cindy, a potter for over thirty years, that good pottery should be used,not just set up on a shelf to be another dust collecting ornament, every piece was finished so edges are chip resistant, pot bottoms are trimmed with a "foot" for appearance and sanded smooth to protect your table, and the handcrafted pottery is thrown heavily enough to stand up to years of day to day usage. All the pottery is designed to be a quality product which will stand the test of time. All of our handcrafted stoneware pottery is microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe and is shipped with a "stoneware pottery care" card with tips on looking after each piece. Thousands of people from around the world have purchased and enjoyed handcrafted stoneware pottery from Out of the Fire Studio. In January of 2007, after processing over ten tons of clay a year into pottery and finding the physical toll to be more than we wanted to endure anymore, we made the decision to close down our wholesale pottery studio and open a studio and gallery near the Gallery Walk area of Jasper Avenue and 124th Street, where we could retail our products and promote the work of many of our friends. After an encouraging beginning we poured our energies into promoting our fine stoneware pottery as well as selected hand crafted decorative craft and art items including paintings by Alberta artists. After a year and a half of trying our hardest we found that we were not receiving the support required to continue this type of operation at this location and on June 30th we closed our studio and gallery.
