Clay Festival!

 

Since January,

I've spent many an hour 

volunteering for what will be

Silver City, New Mexico's

First Ever

Clay Festival!

It's been pretty neat!

The event takes place in early August,

but we've been busy for months...

prepping for Juried Art Shows,

doing PR work,

you know.

All that jazz.

My main job has been assisting with the 

International Juried Art Tile Show.

Yesterday, we spent hours

unpacking and sorting all the 

accepted tile entries - some of which 

Blew. My. Mind.

I've never worked with clay myself,

so seeing the designs some of the artists

came up with has been a real treat.

 

The best part of the experience?

Sorting the tiles

in a historic downtown

warehouse basement

with the windows open 

so we could hear 

the little bit of rain

falling through the trees 

outside.

I'd say it was a good day.
