Just wondering if anyone knows of a ceramic shop or artist on island where someone could get something fired if needed. I have an idea but to turn it to reality I need a kiln and some clay and a pet friendly artist. STX preferred but STT would be ok.
While I'm on it... what other kinds of hobbies/crafts/classes are available on island.? I should know this, but either there are none or they are well hidden. 😉

and they have classes or Seminars

Brian at Virgin Kayak makes Taino artifact reproductions and has workshops every now and then. He uses local clay he digs up and cleans. He uses a bon fire as his kiln and makes some amazing pieces. His shop is at Cane Bay. I would call him a "pet friendly artist".

Mandy has a kiln. She also has her own dogs so I don't know if her dogs are pet friendly 🙂

Hello there! I have found that for certain items I have to order from the states. There are quite a few wonderful artists/art teachers on island that are quite good. If you could tell me, what media do you use on your craft? If I have an idea of what type of art instruction you want, I have quite a few contacts (and one wonderful abstract instructor/guide). As such, I have a file full of artists, yearly workshops, free public are groups, small or individual instruction/other.
Just let me know and I will do all I can. Also, there is a pretty wonderful art store in mid island. Can give directions
