MAD Ceramics: greenware, bisque, casting slip, classes, seminars, Dealer for Colors for Earth & Duncan under glazes, glazes, paints, supplies, firing for all your projects, competitions, custom painted gifts and awards and much more.

We are a  "Full Service Studio" and now a dealer for  "Colors For Earth"

Our students,  Novice,  Hobbyist, Advanced, Seniors or Professional/Master  have done very well for themselves at competitions.

You can start your project from the green ware or with bisque, as in the “Contemporary Studios”. Full service studios are more versatile than contemporary studios since you can request wet greenware and do many different things to it. In contemporary studios your only choice is bisque (ready to paint ware).  We are one of the largest studios in NC and we are open to the public and sell wholesale too. Quality Bisque is available and can be shipped. A sampling of our horse and plain ware bisque can be found in our Bisque Catalog pages at:  www.Horseramics.com. We also manufacture our own casting slip "JR's Blue Ribbon Casting Slip".

HISTORY: I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Fairleigh Dickenson University, Madison, NJ and I also am a graduate of the Newark School of Fine & Industrial Arts in Newark, NJ. I have worked in various advertising agencies in NJ, NY, NV, and NC since graduating and quite a bit of freelance work.

My time now is devoted to the ceramic studio, and teaching ceramics at Ellis Park in Spencer NC. We purchased the studio in September of 1989 after returning from England where my husband had been stationed in the Air Force. Jeff, my husband makes our slip and I do most of the pouring, cleaning, firing, painting and teaching.

I have authored over 35 articles for various ceramic industry magazines including: Ceramics, Popular Ceramics, Ceramic Arts & Crafts, and Fired Arts & Crafts, and have had four of my articles appear on the covers. I have also won numerous awards in Ceramic Competitions in NJ, UK, NC and SC, including 5 "Peggy's" and the "Master's" award in June of 2011 for my Butterfly & Thistle Plaque shown below.
