Clay Network Bi-Monthly Meeting held on July 8, 2018 from 2pm-5pm

Our bi-monthly meeting was held on Sunday, July 8, 2018 from 2p-5p. Polly Beach, owner/operator of the Clay Times Art Center in Fernandina Beach graciously offered to host our meeting, as well as organize our member workshop. 

Polly arranged for Herrick Smith to be the guest artist. Herrick is the ceramic tech for UNF and he demonstrated his technique for producing and assembling very large forms. He used his preferred, dug clay and utilized pre-made sections to show how he makes and joins the leather hard sections into completed forms. His finished, fired works were on exhibition at the Clay Times Center so that anyone interested was able support his art via purchase of his work.  Herrick was a pleasure to watch and he demonstrated his techniques with skill and ease.  

The Clay Times Art Center is a wonderful new addition to Northeast Florida.  The center offers classes, studio space, a gallery, and a pottery supply store.

We have been invited back to hold one of our meetings there in the future and we look forward to our next adventure there.
