NOTICE regarding RedArt supply and clay color variation from current clay production. Cedar Heights Clay Company has been mining the RedArt clay from a different seam in their mine, internal testing has shown there may be a variation in the fired color of clay bodies containing this material. The following clay bodies may be affected 103, 104, 112, 119, 153, 205, 211, 214, 225, 259, 306, 308, 378, 417, 547, 760, 768, 800. While the physical properties of the clay remain within our acceptable specifications, changes in raw material chemistry and mineral composition may influence glaze interaction and final fired appearance. This change may or may not affect your production. We recommend customers perform production testing to confirm glaze fit, surface response, and finished fired color prior to use in regular manufacturing. Hopefully this is a short-term change and the bodies will be back to normal in the near future. We appreciate your understanding and will provide updates as additional information becomes available.

With business resuming after a long winter and spring of COVID closures, Standard Ceramic is glad to welcome a new employee in the retail shop. Lindsey Pauline, a native of Ridgeway, PA, has been helping customers in the retail shop since the end of July.

A graduate of Slippery Rock University with a BFA in Studio Arts, Pauline concentrated her studies in Ceramics. She spent a couple years working independently in Slippery Rock, while earning a living in retail sales. She makes figurative sculptural pieces with a focus on the human form and face, along with symbols of home. Since her move to Carnegie, she has set up a small studio in a walk-in closet in her apartment.

Pauline enjoys helping Standard’s customers in the shop and on the phone. She says, “I always find that I learn something new when I help a customer solve a problem. And, the shop is an awesome networking tool!”
Stop by the shop and say hello to Lindsey the next time you visit Standard.
