Product Index

Notes:

   The Product Index is a work in progress and should never be considered a complete listing of the products carried by Dogwood Ceramic Supply.

    While the Product Index is organized much in the same manner as the index of a book, the Product Index was never specifically designed to absolutely inclusive with all possible cross references and the primary focus of the Product Index is placed upon common search terms.  Thus searching for the term "Crystal Glaze" will be far more beneficial than searching for the generic "Glaze".

    Dialup Warning:    Some of the pages linked from this page, especially the pages that display the color tiles for the glaze and underglaze companies may be slow to download for those users with dialup internet access.  Sorry for the inconvenience for dialup users, however Dogwood Ceramic Supply feels that it is more important to provide accurate color tiles than to compress the picture quality for quick downloading pages.

Does Dogwood Ceramic Supply have a printed catalog?

     The Dogwood Ceramic Supply Product Index services as the index of the Dogwood Ceramic Supply Catalog.  The entire catalog is electronic and continuously updated.  There is NO printed version of the Supply Catalog.

     The cover of the Supply Catalog is the home page: www.dogwoodceramics.com.  The attached Product Index serves as the index of the Catalog.  The major product lines can be reached from the subject matter and manufacturer logos near the bottom of the front page of the home page as well as the Product Index.  The Product Index itself is listed alphabetically by common search terms and cross referenced for customer convenience.

    So what will you find on www.dogwoodceramics.com, the online catalog of Dogwood Ceramic Supply?

    Our goal is to offer the complete listing of the pottery & ceramic equipment and supplies sold by Dogwood Ceramic Supply via our website and in our showroom.

    Since www.dogwoodceramics.com is an online catalog, where is the shopping cart?

    There is no shopping cart on our website nor will there ever be one.  As we clearly explain in the discussion concerning ecommerce, the vast majority of the products sold by Dogwood Ceramic Supply do not lend themselves to be sold online the same as a $5 paperback as the complexity of the products we sell are far are too great or the volume of products sold is far too low.  Bottom line, we would rather do things right and miss a few sales then selling the wrong products to customers.  When you are ready to place an order with Dogwood Ceramic Supply, just pick up the telephone and give us a call.

    Is our website / catalog actually complete?

    NO, far from being complete.  Dogwood Ceramic Supply has been working on this website since 1999 and not for one moment in time has the website ever been close to complete.  For the stuff not listed on the Product Index you will need to visit the Dogwood Ceramic Supply.  Getting to our showroom is easy, just following the clearly written directions on the Maps to Dogwood webpage.

    Is our website / catalog up to date with the most current prices?

    Oh yes!  That is something we really strive to do well.  There may always be a page or two which have not been updated, but as fast as the webmaster can update the pages the prices will be corrected.

    While our goal is offer the complete listing of the pottery & ceramic equipment and supplies sold by Dogwood Ceramic Supply, our more practical goal is to offer as much as we can offer via the 'net with all prices and product information as up to date as possible.  One day, many years from now the website might be complete ... and then the next day we will have to start it all over again.  Keeping any website up to date can be difficult.  Keeping a website as large as this one up to date is a full time job.  To keep customers notified of price changes the basic price information is posted on the Hot Off the Press section.  The Hot Off the Press gives our webmaster a few hours (or days) of breathing room to get the prices updated on the individual product pages and keeps consumers current with new products (unlike the out of date printed catalog).

    Still looking for a Catalog or Printed Literature?  Some of our manufacturers produce a printed or electronic (CD) catalog.  Some of these equipment catalogs are actually free.  Shipping "free" catalogs actually does cost our business a bit of money, so we will be happy to include one or two of those "free" catalogs with your order of other goods.  Of course in-store customers can pickup the free catalogs whenever they visit the showroom.  Additional catalogs, (especially the mold catalogs) are available for only a nominal fee.

    Please note: printed mold catalogs are always considered out of date, especially with regards to prices.  Always refer to the manufacturer's website for up to date product and pricing information.

    Will Dogwood Ceramic Supply ever print our "own" catalog?

    No. Pretty simple, straight forward answer.

    In reality there is little need for a printed catalog:

1) Product specifications and other information can be presented in a more thorough manner via a webpage. Compare the information on a simple webpage, such as the Paragon Dragon sold by Dogwood Ceramic Supply, to the information for that same kiln presented in any printed catalog.  Hands down the webpage can be much more informative versus the printed catalog.  More importantly the simple webpage can be supported with additional web pages, such as the extensive Paragon Information page.

2) Pricing information on a website can be updated much quicker than a printed catalog.  Many purchasing officers for schools and government programs have stopped referencing printed catalogs for their purchases due to the out of date pricing contained in the printed catalogs.

3) Displays of color tiles are more accurate on the computer screen than a printed catalog.  Most manufacturers shoot in high resolution digital formats that are directly compatible for computer displays and customers LOVE the big beautiful pictures.  Those same digital pictures must be converted to a format compatible with print media and often suffer from conversion problems as well as the difficulty with printing inks and technology.

4) Did we mention a printed catalog costs money?

   The Products carried by Dogwood Ceramic Supply can be quickly accessed through the Product Index or the Quick Links near the bottom of the main page of dogwoodceramics.com.

   Additional product information can be found on the manufacturer's websites.
