Since 1998/Pennsylvania
The Ceramic Shop is a Pennsylvania supply house that also mixes its own glazes. They started in 1998 as a workshop for one invention and grew into one of the larger ceramic suppliers anywhere.
Their own cone 6 lines are formulated for dipping rather than brushing, which is unusual on our shelf and worth knowing before you pick one up.

About The Ceramic Shop
The Ceramic Shop was started in 1998 by Mark Lueders, a Philadelphia ceramic artist and teacher. He taught at the University of Pennsylvania and pushed to get ceramics into the curriculum there.
What actually built the company was a tool. Lueders invented the Hydro-Bat, a fast drying bat that makes getting work off the wheel less of a fight. By 2001 the Hydro-Bat business had outgrown its space and moved to a bigger building in Port Richmond, and he opened a supply store alongside it because Philadelphia did not have one.
In 2006 they bought Roselli Pottery, which makes kiln stilts, bead racks and kiln furniture. If you have used a stilt in our kilns, that is the line it came from.
They now run one of the larger ceramic supply operations anywhere, with more than forty thousand items, and they say over seventy percent of their staff are working artists.

About these images and what your pot will actually look like
We have done our best to represent every glaze here accurately, and you should still expect your pot to look different from what is on this screen.
Our glaze tile images are digitally created. They are built to show the character of a glaze, not to be a color match.
A screen is not a printout, a printout is not a test tile, and a test tile is not a finished pot. Each step in that chain shifts what a glaze looks like, sometimes a lot.
On top of that, the pottery itself changes the result: the clay body, how thick the glaze went on, whether it was brushed, dipped or sprayed, what was layered under or over it, where the piece sat in the kiln, how hot that spot ran, how fast it cooled, what was fired next to it, and how much texture the surface had. Two pots glazed from the same jar on the same day can come out different.
Treat every image here as a starting point, and treat a test tile fired on your own clay as the real answer.
