Kim is just a phenomenal human- she's a one woman show! I met Magpie in Jacksonville, at a community clay studio & we clicked. Same energy, crazy, keep moving, chaos, get things done... she moved away and started a studio! She has done the research on clay bodies and glazes and specifically went out of her way to carry brands that weren't carried by other ceramic shops in the area. That's incredible. She brought kiwi underglazes in & now it's the US distributor! She created her own clay and got it in production! She can tell you what clay has the last absorption rate, how it throws or hand builds. Just oozing with info. She teased me that i stumped her with a cone 10 question about one of the clay bodies. Lol.
She also has assistants, but she really has her hands in everywhere. She has the best clays/ glazes, she knows her products & is a wealth of information because she tested all of the clay! I cannot recommend her enough!!! read more
