AMACO was founded in 1919 on the belief that great art materials inspire great artists and since then we have been the industry leader in Ceramic Art Supply manufacturing. We produce everything an individual needs to create ceramic art including Brent pottery wheels and equipment, glazes and underglazes, and a large line of clay products. Over the last 100 years we’ve focused our efforts on growing the ceramic educational market by creating lesson plans, tutorials, videos, and participating in countless educational events. Along with this, AMACO specializes in the formulation of ceramic decorative glazes, slurry development, metal fabrication, clay blending and much more all in the heart of Indianapolis, Indiana. As a company we pride ourselves in the quality and creativity of our products. At our facilities we value Safety, Quality, Teamwork, Respect, Learning and Development, as well as Customer Care to ensure that we produce the most efficient products at the standard that our customers expect. At AMACO we strive to be a company that embraces creative individuals who help us create products that inspire the artists and teachers within the ceramic community everyday.

Manufacturer of kilns for applications in glass, ceramics, metal clays, jewelry, heat treating, knife making, and industrial industries.

Born and raised in the Pacific NW, Skutt Ceramic Products, Inc. is a family owned and operated business focusing on innovation and the needs of the customer. Founded in 1953, father/son team Ralph & Neil Skutt manufactured the industry’s first multi-sided hobby kiln in Olympia, WA under the name Skutt & Sons. Skutt Ceramic Products, Inc. has grown immensely from its pioneering role, designing a kiln that revolutionized hobby ceramics, to an industry leader. We manufacture high quality ceramic and glass kilns, and pottery wheels. We’ve worked hard to develop our reputation for superior quality and outstanding customer service over the years. Today, Skutt continues to grow. Third generation owner/President Jim Skutt embraces the founding philosophy and commitment to excellence his father Phil helped create over the past half-century. Our mission is “To help our customers, from artists to industry, make great things by supplying excellent products and personal service.” Much has changed over the last 70+ years. Kiln companies have come and gone, new clay bodies and glazes are developed that demand greater firing precision, and automatic controllers have replaced the once cutting-edge KilnSitter. Skutt has made molds, pottery wheels, gas kilns, vents…but our primary focus has always been manufacturing high quality electric kilns for artists, educators and hobbyists. Skutt kilns and wheels are made in America and sold all over the world to artists, manufacturers, schools and institutions. Skutt does not sell direct to the public. We have a network of over 200 distributors. We feel very strongly that our distributors are the backbone of the Ceramics and Glass industries and we should do everything we can to support them. Throughout the years, Skutt has worked hard to meet the changing needs of our customers, and the one thing that has remained constant is our fierce dedication to manufacturing quality products and providing outstanding customer service.
