This is a wonderful independent ceramic shop (and one of the last few left in the area)! I am so glad to have learned of Gem Mold and the opportunity to stop by today.
The owner of the shop is a very helpful and friendly person who had all the answers to my questions about getting back into this art form. What was really wonderful about my visit was learning about where the medium is heading in terms of new techniques and products available to enhance and challenge the painter, builder or kiln owner. Very exciting stuff! You'll have to stop in and talk to him to learn it for yourself. All you need to know is that ceramics isn't just for kids and seniors these days (I'm 28)! If you have kids, I saw very many finished kid-friendly projects where the artists appeared to have a blast!
If you need slip, clay for hand-building, glazes, acrylics, tools, etc, you can find it here. The owner also offered to order anything I might not be able to find in store. Sure does beat those $50 shipping charges for a little slip! This place is definitely worth a stop while in the Lancaster area!
