Claudia Reese started Cera-Mix Studios in 1981 on a screened in front porch but quickly moved it into a spare bedroom.  Cera-Mix has expanded many times since to arrive at its present, hopefully permanent location.  We are now situated at the top of a hill on Tumbleweed Trail in Austin, TX where we catch the breezes and bask in the sunshine.  We are creating a ceramic wonderland with tile, sculpture, fountains, water catchments   systems and gardens all around.   In the studio we are making dinnerware, platters, tiles, sculpture, and many kinds of ceramic necessities.  Like breathing in and breathing out, we started small, grew large and are now settling into a happily medium size.  We take on commissions, do Art in Public Places projects, work with lots of kids making tiles for libraries and schools, work with boy scouts, girl scouts, and National Charity League girls to make hundreds of bowls for the Empty Bowl project which benefits the Austin Food Bank.  And Claudia makes sculpture whenever she can.
