    My un-fired fused glass pieces!
    Ellie A.

    Autumn at Clay Owen Studios is awesome! I had signed up for a fused glass class in April and it was sadly put off due to Covid restrictions. Once the studio was open again I messaged and asked if I could take my class as soon as it was safe. Autumn had me come in for a one on one class and I did my project and learned so much! I had some much needed fun and she was patient with me while I asked way too many questions! I love my piece and will definitely recommend her and this studio!

    Not too bad for a first piece.

    This is probably my most favorite date thus far with my husband. We took the introductory wheel thrown pottery class. Our instructor, Autumn, was very helpful and created a relaxed environment. She really encourages you to be creative and it's amazing watching a lump of clay transform into something recognizable. You get to decide what you make. It's your creation. We made a bowl, small plate and two cups. Another lady in class made what looked like a saki bottle and a vase. We get to go back to paint and fire our pieces. I can't wait to see how they turn out! It is definitely not a child friendly environment. There are creations drying everywhere along with machine pedals, cords and too many mind blowing things that even the most behaved child couldn't resist exploring or touching. (I would be devastated if I were informed our projects got broken. It's more than pottery, it's a tangible form of a cherished memory my spouse and I shared) This would be a great date night, teen/parent bonding, girls or guys group activity. I went with the expectation of checking something off of my bucket list. I left with a desire to learn more and a newly awoken spark of creativity. Messy but FUN. Several friends expressed interest in participating after I posted our pics so I think next time will be a group. Wear something comfy that you don't mind getting dirty! If you've ever wondered what it would be like you have to go. The prices are reasonable too. Make Pottery

    Want a creative new challenge in a safe space with the best instruction? This is where you want to go!! Autumn did a wonderful job walking our class through the process of cutting, grinding and soldering glass to create unique and beautiful mermaids. I would highly recommend these classes to anyone looking to scratch a creaive itch. This would make an awesome girls outing or date night!

    My husbands beautiful results from the stained glass session with Autumn!

The worker was a young guy just sitting behind the counter on his phone not interacting with anyone shopping, but he was nice when we check out. Picture was $60 and the cup I think was $18.

Their mission is simple - to support and promote Native Alaskan artists by providing them a place to work and sell their art while also promoting their culture and each other. They nurture art and they lift each other up. In a world of AI slop and mass produced junk the Alaska Art Alliance provides a much needed infusion of craftsmanship practiced for generations. A fine layer of dust seems to cling to everything in the store, but it is not the dust of neglect; it is the dust of constant hard work. They have a wide variety of items - art, pins, jewelry, carvings, and scrimshaws and much more! I will admit I wasn't certain when I first passed the shop as the retractable gate and the locked door made it look uninviting. My friend tried the door, found it locked, and walked away leaving me barely time to read the sign that said "if locked call or text number listed" as they would be in the back working. The next day we returned, and after informing my friend what the sign said, prepared to call but found the door unlocked. There were multiple cases full of different items. The workshop in the back looked busy. After being in so manny tourist shops it just felt nice being somewhere that felt real. The gentleman who assisted us was warm and informative. He told us about the artisans, the mission, and all they were doing. My eyes fell upon a jade bead necklace and I was captivated. I had been looking at jade all trip fairly unimpressed because they largely were flat green and didn't interest me. This necklace had character with inclusions and variations in the color. Each bead was unique. There were two necklaces and I opted for the smaller since being short the larger was a bit long to wear practically. The larger, tho, was epically beautiful as well! We ended up buying that necklace and a handcrafted pin. I am very pleased with our purchases and would recommend anyone who seeks authentic pieces to come to this Art Alliance.
