The Art all begins

The Mud Room
Tucked away south of Texarkana, Ken and Ann have remodeled their old barn to have a special place affectionately known as the Mud Room.
We enjoy sharing our love of the clay medium. We would love to have you and your friends or family out.
The renovated Mudroom is ready!
About the Potter
“Pottery has played a significant part in my life, since I was first introduced to the wheel during my college years. After that I spent several years developing my pottery skills due to teachers, hard work, and of course You tube.” Ken Guthrie
Ken is a genuine “people person” so the natural next step is to share this unusual art with anyone looking to explore the medium of clay.
Ken has had experience with students of various levels. He is extra patient with beginners.From beginners to those with moderate skills, he has helped students have success with this lost art.
Ken is now starting monthly lessons!
Hand-build
These are the basic methods of coil, pinch and slab. Whatever your interest, we can assist you to make a unique piece.
Endless possibilities include bowls, plates, cups, or decorated pieces.
Wheel - throwing
This is Ken’s specialty! After a brief demo, you get to spend some time making a piece of pottery on the wheel with guided instructions.
Amazing Glazing
From napkin holders, cups, vases, and spoon rests, we have several colors to choose from for you to create a piece glazed by you!
