Exploring Clay

This week we have decided to dive into working with clay (again).
While some of us who were at camp for Session 1 have already become more familiar with this material through our initial explorations, it is something that continues to be engaging and exciting to work with!
We are enthusiastic and eager to discover new potential for what we can do with this material throughout the week.
