Due to the demand for Mayco slip cast mold shapes that exceed A Ceramic Shop's production capacity, Mayco will transfer its mold production to Clay Magic Inc, who will distribute Mayco molds for sale alongside their shapes. The final day to place your order for Mayco Molds at A Ceramic Shop is June 1st. All outstanding Mayco mold orders will be fulfilled by August 1st. Mayco molds will be moved to Clay Magic gradually as they become available. If you would like to place an order with A Ceramic Shop, please contact Bill or Michael at [email protected] or call 614-337-9042.

Mayco expresses its gratitude to A Ceramic Shop for keeping the Mayco molds available since our in-house production ceased in 2022. A Ceramic Shop will continue to offer a variety of other mold shapes, bisque, and color products to support the industry.

About Clay Magic Inc: Located in Rockwood, Michigan, Clay Magic Inc is a well-known provider of a diverse catalog of clay molds for ceramic artists and enthusiasts alike. We are confident Mayco’s iconic mold shapes are in good hands with Clay Magic. Visit their website at: www.ClayMagicInc.com

"We have received many questions about how the new tariffs will impact our pricing. For now, Mayco will be able to absorb the existing tariffs on raw materials from all countries except China. Earlier this year, in anticipation of the threatened tariffs on Chinese goods, we purchased large quantities of those raw materials sourced from China and have an adequate supply for the next several months. So, barring other unanticipated costs or events, we do not expect a price adjustment on color for at least the 90-day pause and hopefully longer.

Bisque, also sourced from China, is a different situation. We are holding prices while we monitor movement in the tariffs. If the high tariffs stay in effect, then we will undoubtedly have to raise our prices. We commit to absorbing all of the increased costs we can and will work to find other cost savings to reduce the impact as much as possible."

Inspired by aspects of nature, Elements™ glazes produce lush, organic, and earthy hues. Though originally designed to simulate the aesthetic, movement and interest of mid-range and high fire glazes in a cone 06/05 oxidation kiln firing, Elements™ glazes can also be used at mid-range and high temperatures, both as standalone colors and in combination with other glazes.

This month, we will be sharing all you need to know about using Elements™ at higher temperatures and how you can make the most out of these glazes.

Drop your questions about the Elements™ line below!

COMING SOON! Who's excited for these new Stoneware Bisque shapes? I know we are!

The three new vases (SB155 Rounded Bud Vase, SB156 Ringed Bud Vase, SB157 Curvy Vase) are gorgeous and simple ways to show off your favorite glaze combinations or decorating techniques.

We're also excited to bring you the SB158 Textured Standing Test Tile! Give new glazes and combos a try without the commitment of covering an entire piece, see how the glaze breaks over texture, and label your glazes using Designer Liner at the bottom for maximum organization.

These new shapes are on their way to your favorite Mayco distributors and will be available soon! Which shape are you most excited for?
