Back to School

The summer has come and gone so quickly. We took some time off in July to go to Virginia to visit our newest grandson, Oliver and of course his parents. What a wonderful little boy. He is always happy.

 August was The Edmonton Folk Festival. We had a hoot being vendors there. We always do. It such fun and it is great to meet some of the performers as they go through the vendors tent. I did some demos and you can see the how fascinated the people were by ..... something other than me......

Here is a picture of our booth.

There was an unexpected turn of events with amiskwaciy Academy and it looks like we won't be working with them after all. The program did not get the funding and therefore will not be going forward. It is unfortunate. We were looking forward to working with the older students, introducing them to clay, building a new public studio and potter's guild.

The school year is starting up and already we have number of bookings.  We are in the final stages of getting out kits together so anyone anywhere can have a workshop with The Clay Teacher.  It was more difficult than I had thought it would be sourcing all the components,but finally we got them to all come together. We have our buckets made and printed locally, the brushes are sourced in New York and made in Thailand, the paint is made in Kentucky and the DVD are reproduced here in the city.  The shooting, lighting, editing is all done by us with help of our daughter and her boyfriend. Kaileigh, my daughter did all the editing.  She has seen a lot of her mother over these last few months and as we continue, she is going to see a lot more. We starting shooting more workshops next week.

School starts tomorrow and I hope everyone, teachers, students and of course The Clay Teacher has a wonderful year.

Cheers,
Cindy Clarke
