Spring Sale
Spring is finally showing up in Montana. Though the snow has melted in the valley we are going to be able to ski at our local resort on Cinco de Mayo. Wow!, seven months of skiing this season. 

Now that the Spring colors are popping why not load up on your favorite glazes. All glazes, Amaco, Coyote, Opulence, and Western will be discounted 10% for the month of May. 



For the month of June all Kemper and Mudtools will be on sale at 10% off. Stock up on your favorites and the ones you wear out quickly.

New Item
"Potters' Skin Butter is made for the very driest hands. You need a lotion that soaks in in seconds, not minutes, one that smells good but doesn't have artificial fragrances, one that quenches your skin, leaving it soft for hours. So you can get back to your life. That's why we make Potters' Skin Butter." Cara Mae, owner of Potters Skin Butter

Sculpture Highfire Clay
Our sculpture highfire clay is going through some changes that you may feel when using it. We have changed the type of grog and the mesh size to give the clay more tooth and versatility. This clay is going to go through further changes to make it an improved sculpture clay body.

Another New Look for trusted Materials
American Talc is now mined by Natural Minerals. The new bag is a simple white labelled on the side with C-98. Tile #6 kaolin has gone from a brown bag labelled #6 tile clay on the side to a bright white bag with the KT Clays emblem on the side.

Still! Free Materials
The Clay Business is making room in the warehouse and giving away some Tile 6 Kaolin and Ball Clay. The materials have a slight imperfection containing iron and chunks of feldspar in them which make them unusable for our production products. The chunks can be screened out and used for making glazes, slips and clays. These are also great for adobe building, natural earth plaster walls, and hay bale construction.

It's free, all you have to do is pick it up or pay for shipping. If interested contact us at 406/442-2521
