Clay Challenge

The Clay Challenge is a twice a year opportunity for members to explore new ideas. We decide on a theme and challenge members to create something. It is not a competition, but an excuse to make something new and show it at the “reveal” meeting. These challenges are intended to be fun, spark your imagination, generate conversation and encourage you to investigate new techniques. If you have already explored the topic, we’d love to see your best work!

Next Clay Challenge: Birds

Use your imagination and create. Be ready to submit pictures of your work by Sunday evening June 14th. Watch MemberConnect closer to mid-June for submittal info.
