Monday's Clue:

I'm finally drying out today, but staying hidden. I hear a lot of cars and people going by me. I can almost see one of those giant geese with their feathers all painted up with different colors.

It's that time of year again for the Wild Goose Chip Hunt for Goose Day in the Juniata River Valley. This year's chip is a circle of clay with a goose and magnets on the back. It is hidden somewhere on between Monument Squre & Five points Fountain. It's on public property, do not trespass! Each day at noon and new clue will be released. When/If you find it, bring it to the studio for your prize of your choice of any Goose Day mugs! Happy Hunting!!

New glaze color! Shelly Island. If you have ever been to the Outer Banks in North Carolina, Cape Point is an area where the warm Gulf Stream collides right off its shores with the colder Labrador Current. This area is constantly changing with the shifting sand. In 2017, after a Spring storm, a new island of sand just beyond the tip of Cape Point formed. It was named Shelly Island because of the abundance of shells including numerous whole welk shells. This glaze color reminds me of that sand that made up the island. It did not last long. After another storm later in tat year, the sand shifted again and the island was gone.

Gift giving season is right around the corner, and really… what is better than something homemade?

Our next Clay Club is all about making gifts! Kids will get a slab of clay and a whole lot of creative freedom to turn it into handmade gifts for some special people.

Need some ideas of what to make?

✨ Pendant or magnet - tie a cord around them for a necklace or bracelet or glue a magnet on the back to stick it on the fridge
🎄Ornament or plaque - we have so many different cookie cutters to make fun shapes!
💍 Trinket or ring dish
🥄 Spoon rest
☕️ Coasters
…or whatever else they can dream up!

We recommend getting them thinking about who they’d like to make gifts for and what they might want to create before the workshop. That way, they can jump right in and make the most of their clay when they arrive!

We can’t wait to see what they come up with. 🥰
