We Won! WE WON!!!
You aren't going to believe this! We joined the Intuit Love Our Local Business Make a Wish contest on a whim. It is a nationwide contest with almost 2000 small business asking for wishes to be granted and a chance for $5000. Our community, friends, and family all rallied and went online everyday to vote for our wish of a NEW KILN!
Intuit picked only 15 wishes to grant and we are psyched and honored that they chose us! Blown away really. So far we are the only art studio that won. Our new kiln is on the way! A new Skutt 1231 PK and new power is being installed in our space so we can run it at the same time as our other. This will be an AMAZING improvement for our studio and clay community! See Intuit's blog post about our win
