Here's What's New in Ceramic Supplies at Sheffield Pottery:

Here is a smattering of the latest additions to our ceramic supply offerings and other news.
But please, browse around in the categories to the left where you will find new items and special discounts throughout our store...

Site tip: You will find more complete information by browsing the categories in the left navigation than by jumping right to the product search.
There is a lot of info in the category pages to help you find the correct item for your needs. The categories and sub-categories are arranged in a logical way. The product search takes you directly to products only, so if you want a kiln for example, it would be better to start at the category "kilns" and read about the different brands and sizes etc. than to search for "kiln" in the product search which would just bring up a dizzying list of all 500 kilns we offer with no particular organization... So browse around, have fun and give us a call if you have any questions...
Thanks... -Sheffield

Mountain Road School Fundraiser To Fight World Hunger

- October 29, 2008

The students, teachers and families of Mountain Road School invite the community to join them for a special meal to help end world hunger.

The fourth annual Empty Bowls Dinner will be held at 6pm on Wednesday, November 19th in the Abode of the Message Dining Room, 5 Abode Road, New Lebanon, NY.

With a donation of $15 for adults and $5 for children, guests will receive a meal of homemade soup and bread, and choose from a selection of unique handcrafted ceramic bowls to use at the dinner and to take home.

This year Mountain Road School has collaborated with the Darrow School to create exquisite hand made bowls. Children from preschool through grade six worked with Darrow School�s hands-to-work students under the tutelage of Mona Seno, Darrow School�s art department chair and ceramic instructor. Each handmade bowl, made from donated Sheffield Pottery clay, is impressed with natural items: autumn leaves, twigs, pine needles, bark, or berries and then fired and glazed.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated to Charlie's Pantry in New Lebanon and Oxfam America. The Empty Bowls Dinner raises awareness of local and global hunger while allowing children the chance to give selflessly for the benefit of those in need locally and internationally. Special thanks go to Darrow School, The Abode of the Message and Sheffield Pottery for supporting the event.

Service Learning is a critical component of the curriculum at Mountain Road School, according to Kathleen Bailer, Director. "By creating the bowls, preparing the soup and bread, decorating the tables and providing a song and blessing for the meal, the children truly internalize what it means to give selflessly for the benefit of those in need," Ms. Bailer says.
