an invitation to play with clay















I am getting ready to do an outdoor installation for a show in March at the Marin Cheese Factory in Petaluma. I have an inordinate number of clay balls to make (oh, that's what those are...) and I can see that the only way that I can do this, and have fun (instead of stressing out!) in the process, is to invite you to join me in making them.

I will be working away in my studio every Wednesday evening for the next several weeks and would love for you to come and make some clay balls with me. We can yackity yack, drink some tea and/or wine, listen to good music and basically enjoy the relaxing activity of working with clay. And no, you do not have to be an expert clay ball maker but I guarantee you will become one by the time we're through!

I will be here in the studio 7:00 to 10:00 for the next four Wednesdays (unless I get done sooner):
- Feb. 18
- Feb. 25
- Mar. 4
- Mar. 11

Stop by for an hour, take a break from worrying about the economy, relax at the end of your work day and enjoy the stress-reducing benefits of working with clay and helping me (!!!) in a lovely setting with good company and cheer. Let me know if you are coming or just show up. And if you can't make it, don't worry, I'll invite you to the opening and you can see what all this fuss is about!

Cheers,
Emily
