Letter to our Community
As many of you know, I live in Queens (and since I know you’ll ask, it takes about 45 minutesto drive to Clay Art Center during normal times.) However, during this stay at home period, Ihave been staying with my parents at the house where I grew up in Rye. It gives me morespace and easy access to Clay Art Center when I need to check in on things. Every day whenI make my way to my temporary home office, I pass by shelves filled with the pottery I createdstarting in elementary school with a wonderful art program at Midland School and continuingon through summers at Buck’s Rock camp, classes at Rye High School and years of classesat BrickHouse Studio in Long Island City. This daily trip down memory lane is a wonderfulreminder of why I fell in love with ceramics and how I ended up where I am today. Ceramicshas given me a way to be creative, experiment, and step away from the daily stresses of life,which is needed now more than ever. Together we are inspiring each other and finding new
ways to be creative and learn. I am looking forward to getting out some clay and joining youin one of our upcoming virtual classes so I can add another piece to my parents’ ceramicdisplay. See you in the virtual studio!
