It's Springtime on the American River here in old Folsom. Visit us and walk or bike the trails that extend upriver as far as Folsom prison and downriver all the way to the Sacramento river.
Our Website shows patterns and examples of our work. Each piece is different both in shape and placement of the pattern. After more than 30 years of plying our trade the possible variations are well up in the tens of thousands- so all our orders are placed by phone (800-472-4591) and that allows us to give you an idea how long they will take and what we have in stock for immediate shipment. The one of a kind nature of "Clouds" porcelains is important to us and to our customers and we like to try to maximize the unique nature of each piece.
Our newest pattern, "California Poppy"

We throw about 80% of our porcelain on the potters wheel. We cast about 30% in molds we have designed and made ourselves. We do site specific custom tile in both flat painted and bas-relief handbuilt designs. We work together on most projects and each person brings their strengths to a project- thus we work in a wide variety of styles depending on who the lead artist is. We work in two distinct firing mediums. Oxidation high fire- which yields the painted pottery (there are about 40 patterns developed over the last 30 years by Penny Cloud and for the past decade, Linda Allison.) In oxidation also are many of Linda Allison's one of a kind seasonal patterns. The other firing style is known as high fire reduction. Mary Cargile is the lead artist on these. These pieces are done in a kiln that is smoked all the way through the firing. The glazes come out in a wide variety of ways- and what we give up in predictability is made up in spades by excitement. We are a family owned and run business. Because it is our kids and grandkids and friends who work here and we want to keep our clients happy and healthy, we use no Lead, Cadmium or Barium in our work and use no toxics in our studio.
