The Silver City Clay Festival,
an event I've been helping prepare
since January,
has finally come upon us.
There was SO MUCH
going on simultaneously...
I haven't even
scratched the surface
here.
But here's a little glimpse
worth viewing.
Let's take a look,
shall we?

The Silver City Clay Festival looks wonderful. I took a pottery class years ago, and still have a couple piece. I can never part with them. I love the gallery portraits that are displayed.

How neat! We plan on holding the festival again next year, so if you happen to be in southern New Mexico around that time, you should come! :D
DeleteNot sure if you remember me...but we chatted a bit at the Mud Fun on the first day of the Clay Festival. I had my 2 littlest girls with me (one was the redhead). We both discovered that we had a blog.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know you help plan the festival...that's great! My girls really enjoyed learning to make things from clay (I'm so not artsy, but I love exposing them to all sorts of experiences).
Anyway, just wanted to say hi :)
Hi, Dayna!
DeleteSo cool that you found me on here! I'm so glad your girls had a blast with the clay! There's a certain charm in getting your hands dirty, being creative. It's wonderful that you give your kiddos a chance to do just that!!!
Thanks for saying hi! :D
