Clay Club meets at Clay Studio of BMCA

First picture of the group, half Clay Club, half BMCA Clay Stuio folks.

The group of folks who gathered, (not including James and a few late-comers, but Barbara wanted to get into this shot.)



Such a spread! Thanks to all those who contributed!

Erin Campbell, Gale Jackson and John Britt having a discussion over dinner. Don't ask Erin how to get people's attention for announcements!

John was the spokesperson for The Western North Carolina Clay Club, an open group of pottery people who gather monthly to eat and do something interesting. Or maybe they don't always eat, just gather to get out of their studios, mostly from Yancey and Mitchell Counties.

That blueberry cobbler was a real winner. Emily, Annie and Erin are watching John (behind camera.)



Annie and John had a discussion, about what they would demo perhaps?

John showed Sarah Ann, Sarah, and James and the other Sarah how he makes little chairs by cutting blocks of clay. (Video has been posted on Clay Club site). Anyone else named Sarah is welcome to join the group!


The Black Mountain Center for the Arts Clay Studio was thrilled that Clay Club had its May meeting here (May 11, 2011). A big thank you goes to John Britt, Emily Reason, and Annie Singletary who demo'd different clay techniques for us all.
