Dogwood Ceramic Supply Catalog

    Are you looking for the Dogwood Ceramic Supply Catalog? 

    Or is it suppose to be Dogwood Ceramic Supply's Catalog?

    Maybe it is suppose to be possessive, but since many customers ask for "your" (meaning "our") "Supply Catalog", "Pottery Supply Catalog" or "Ceramic Supplies Catalog" we can guess any version of the phrase may be grammatically correct.  Bottom line is pretty simple, you were looking for a supply catalog from Dogwood Ceramic Supply and you have reached this page.

 Well, in the simplest terms, you have found what you are seeking.

    Yep, www.dogwoodceramics.com serves as the Dogwood Ceramic Supply Catalog.  The major product lines can be reached from the manufacturer's logos near the bottom of the front page of the website.  The product index has the products listed by major product types.

    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.

    Is our website / catalog actually complete?

    NO, far from being complete.

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

    Oh yes!

    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 and when they may be expected the basic price information is posted on the Hot Off the Press section.  The Hot Off the Press gives our webmaster a few hours 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to get the prices updated on the individual product pages and keeps consumers current with new products (unlike the out of date printed catalog).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 catalogs are free, some of these catalogs (especially the mold catalogs) are to be sold to customers.  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.

    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.

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?
