A little plot twist... someone ordered a bunch of glaze and never paid for it or picked it up 😅 So instead of letting it sit around, we decided to turn it into a teacher giveaway.

We’re giving FOUR teachers a bottle of Mayco Foundations Low Fire Glaze ✨

How to enter:
• Tag your favorite art teacher in the comments
• Tell us why they’re the best in 1-2 sentences
• Give them the appreciation they deserve 🩷

We’ll choose 4 teachers at the end of the month!

Teachers inspire creativity, encourage messy ideas, and help shape future artists every day. Let’s fill these comments with some love for the teachers who make a difference 🍎🎨

You asked. We made a class for it.

Throwing with Nails is designed for potters, teachers, and long nail lovers who thought pottery wasn’t made for them. Learn techniques, modifications, and real tips for throwing on the wheel with nails or teaching students who have them.

Because having a cute set should not mean giving up clay 💅🏽⚱️

Tag your nail girl, pottery friend, or instructor who needs this 👇
