And now for something completely different!

The Clay Teacher is making changes.We have been presenting clay workshops in the Edmonton area for the past four years.  Now we offer you clay workshops on Youtube for free. Mr. and Mrs. Clay have retired from presenting workshops and now we are making our workshops available to everyone.  You, a teacher' or PAC groups can lead the workshop yourself. We show you how to lead your group through making a clay project, whenever and wherever you want.  The Clay Teacher offers free video instruction in popular projects for all age groups. We will be creating new workshops and if there is something you would like to see, ask and we will have it on Youtube as quickly as we can.

We are moving to Coutts AB where life is slow and the weather is warm. Where is Coutts you ask?  It is a small town as far south in Alberta as you can go and one of the busiest Canada - US border crossings in Western Canada.

We have put over 7,000 kilometers on the car driving around Southern Alberta looking for the right place to call home. Wednesday we are going south.....again....to look at lots..  I always call them city lots, but with about 280 people living there, it's not quite a city. We will purchase the lot, then build a pad for our modular home will purchase Friday or Monday.  We thought we had our new home all lined up right up until we didn't. But the new modular home is nicer than the first one.  Not nicer now, but after a bit of work it will be. We had purchased a bunch of flooring to fix up the first one, and then the deal fell through, so we have a garage full of flooring and no trailer. Then found a place online for sale and it is a modular and not a mobile. A 76' long 16' wide modular that has no flooring.  A perfect match.  Here are some before pictures. 

    

 

I am looking forward to having time to soak in that tub. I like to play "tea bag".

The local school district closed the school in Coutts and the village (not the city) has taken it over. They have built a public library, and the Coutts Recreation and Arts Society. The Society was formed to operate the School as a Community Centre. We will be working with them to set up a public pottery studio in their art room. A win win for all involved.We will get a large and wonderful studio and they will have access to all our equipment and knowledge. We plan to build a great facility and are very excited about it. 

We have three bedrooms in our new home.  We will be turning one into the production studio where we will do all our own video. We have all  the equipment and we are ready to go.  Well, maybe not quite ready to shoot just yet! Here is a shot of the room.  It needs some work,(Paint!) besides a village lot to go to. 

 That pink was so loud, we heard it while walking down the hall. 

We had a great time as Mr. and Mrs. Clay. We will still be Mr. and Mrs. Clay on video instead of in person. As soon as we are up and running we will be constantly adding to our Youtube channel.  If there is a lesson you would like to see, ask us and we get it on line as soon as we can. Please let others know about the channel. We want to make every day Clay Day!

Until next time.
