We want people to feel as comfortable learning something new here as they would at a public library.

Belly Bowl: A new service we are offering! This mama was so fun and beautiful I had to share (with permission, of course).
You can order a belly bowl session $225 on our website under the Shop tab. Nesta will set up a time for you to come make a form, which consists of hanging out for about an hour with 5 lbs of cooling clay on your belly and a lot of smiles and giggles because that’s how we roll at Iris & Stone 😏. She will then add a base, slowwwwwwwwly dry it, bisque fire it, glaze it for you, and a final glaze fire before it’s ready for pickup. #pregnancybowl #pregnancykeepsake #bellybowl #irisandstonepotterystudio

She might actually be a gift from the gods! Nesta and I are teaching her everything we know, and hopefully grooming her for something big someday. In the meantime, our members will have to get used to reclaim that doesn’t smell quite so much like raw sewage. Everybody’s very sad, as you can imagine. #reclaimclay #noteatingouryoung #pottersofinstagram #irisandstonepotterystudio
