Meet BrushFire's Newest Team Member

Greetings fellow bloggers! My name is Jay, and I am the newest addition to Team BrushFire. Originally a Floridian, I recently moved here from Arcata, California where I lived for the last three years obtaining my degree in elementary education and studio art. I'm loving Eugene, even more so now that I have a great job working with such fantastic people! I'm really excited about the months to come. Things are going to get very busy soon with the approaching holiday season. We have some really fun Halloween pieces in stock, including skulls, pumpkins, and vampires. We're also starting to stock up on Winter Holiday pieces. We have a great ornament collection and I've noticed many of our customers are eager to get a jump on the holiday season--I hope to do the same! In addition, we started registering students for our Wednesday Clay Club classes and our No-School Day workshops. I can't believe how quickly they are already starting to fill up! Our first Clay Club class is tomorrow, and I'm sure Kate will let you know how it goes.

If you've never been in before, now is a great time to stop in and see how things work. We're eager to answer your questions and give you some helpful hints. Even if you think there isn't a creative bone in your body, come on in and surprise yourself! I look forward to meeting you!

Introducing Clay Club

We have a great new clay program starting in ONE WEEK!!! I'm excited and ready to get dirty. The best part about this new program is that we will create and paint our projects in one sitting. The pieces will be ready to pick up in 7 days! That's amazing. It used to take us twice as long. Thanks to new clay paints, and a new teaching method we have cut our turn around time in half.
Stay tuned next week, we will post pictures of our workshops and the great projects the kids are creating.

Have a great day!

Welcome!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Kate. I am part owner of a great business we call BrushFire. BrushFire is a paint your own pottery studio in Eugene Oregon. The other owner is my mom Nancy. But really we all work for Courtney, my 4 year old daughter, ruler of the universe. Or at least our universe. My husband Mike comes in for some "mandatory volunteer work" on the weekends, expecially in December. We are truly are a family business, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
