Clay Challenge

The Clay Challenge is a twice a year (June and November) 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: Trees

Use your imagination and create. This Challenge will be in November.
