Merrill Pottery Coop

Merrill Pottery Coop Hi we're the Merrill Pottery Coop. A student run cooperative group that is here to get dirty and make some ceramics.

Come check us out at Merrill College behind the dorms on the UCSC campus. The co-op is made up of two studios, both of which are located in the basement of Merrill A-dorm.

Good morning! Here is some info about upcoming events at the co-op. Hope you can make it!

New to glazing or just need a refresher? Please join us next week to learn the basics of glazing! If you have bisqueware make sure to glaze it soon so we can fill the kiln for…

• First Glaze Firing on Sunday Nov. 6 time TBA
Come hang out with us while we fire up the big kiln for the first time this school year. Snacks will be provided! We will also be doing screen-printing; no experience needed, we will teach you how!

• Raku Field Trip near the end of November with date and time TBA
For those who don’t know, raku is a special glaze firing technique. Since the process involves removing pieces while they’re red hot, we cannot do it safely on campus amid all our beautiful (flammable) trees. So Monika is organizing a field trip to a studio that specializes in this type of firing! If you are interested in participating, make some pieces using SOLDATE clay (B-mix can crack and cinnamon is too dark) and have them bisque fired. Check back later for more details!

An email will be sent out soon with more information. We hope to see you at one (or all) of these events!
