The Ceramic Shop is sad to inform you that Kemper Tools will be closing its doors in the coming months.
Kemper has been a staple in classrooms and pottery studios for years, their products often being the first many pottery students buy. Quality craftsmanship and a wide array of well made unique tools have made Kemper an easy choice for beginners and professionals alike. Their commitment to the industry has left a mark that will not be easily erased.
While we are saddened about their closing, we are grateful for the years of high quality products and excellent customer service that Kemper has continuously provided.
We will be selling through our stock and removing items from our website once all of Kemper’s tools have sold through.
In an effort to make this transition as smooth as possible, The Ceramic Shop is working to stock tools that will fill the void that Kemper’s closing has left. Check out “Our Products” for the many outstanding replacement tools that they have inspired!
