Business Spotlight: New pottery store in Carson City to teach love of clay
Submitted by Brett Fisher on Thu, 12/08/2016 - 7:38pm
As the idiom goes, those who can, do, and those who can't, teach.
Then there's Merrill and Jo Moore, who do both.
The Carson City couple learned to throw clay four years ago through a local studio, and now are ready to pass on what they've learned by opening their own pottery studio inside the Carson Mall.

I’m usually a lover of sunny days, but right now I say bring on the rain. The moisture is a welcome help to our heroic firefighters in Lake Tahoe and Washoe Valley. Because of the wet weather and the recent fires, some activities have been postponed: most notably the Advocates to End Domestic Violence’s Annual Light After Dark Run. There are still plenty of things to occupy your time, but the weather may force more cancellations.

“Legend tells us of an extraordinary leader who arose from the chaos to unite a troubled kingdom. A man with a vision, who gathered knights together in a Holy Quest.” You’ll find that man and quite a few others on the black box stage of the Brewery Arts Center as the Proscenium Players present ‘Spamalot.’ You’ll find great music around town: Jaime Rollins, Whiskey Lung, and Motown Music. The boys of J and M Productions bring karaoke to Whiskey Tavern. Kick up your cowboy boots with DJ Bobby Truesdale at Carson Lanes’ Country Dance Party.

Do you have a bucket list? I’ve heard so many people tell me they have one and making pottery is pretty high up there. Come to Carson City Pottery and get your hands in clay.
We have a variety of classes available for sign up, and lots of free open studio time. Our glazes are beautiful and we would love for you to drop by and take a look at them.
Those who have never worked with clay, or have and want to do some hand building would benefit taking a hand building class with Leigh Lunt on Wednesdays from 1:30 - 4:30 pm, starting June 24th.
