Galen Ceramics Studio

The spacious Louis & Helene Galen Ceramics Studio is filled with natural light and features a series of canvas covered work tables, storage shelving and a separate glaze area. An outdoor spray booth is available for sprayed glaze application. The studio is well equipped with electric wheels, a slab roller, extruders and electric kilns. The adjacent outdoor kiln yard features a variety of large and small gas kilns, including a raku kiln and 40 cubic foot state of the art DLB40 Geil kiln.
