Some changes at The Clay Pit

Dear Friends of The Clay Pit,

The Clay Pit and I have been on a wild ride, since 2002. We've moved three times, and have also had to take some breaks along the way, but thanks to you, each time, we've come back stronger, with more inspiration, interaction, and art to show for it. 2008 is no exception!

I've recently accepted an interim position as Director of Admissions at Bethany College in Bethany, WV. This is a return to the collegiate work I've done in the past - first as Director of Admissions at Moore College of Art and Design, and then as Dean of Admissions at Chatham College.

But The Clay Pit is still my first priority, as is my commitment to you. So I wanted to be sure that you know that the studio will remain available by reservation Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10am-10pm.

For those of you who use The Clay Pit over Passover Break and on days off school, the studio will be available on Fridays 10-4 as usual.

I am also still taking reservations for parties and workshops Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

And don't forget to visit my website for updates!

As always, I thank you for your kind support and interest in The Clay Pit, where it is still OK to play in the mud!

Take care,
Karina

Spring Break for kids at The Clay Pit

and come to The Clay Pit during school spring break, kids! Spring Break Camp is available for any school aged children, during the time that their schools schedule their spring break. Bring your children to The Clay Pit from Monday - Friday, 10-4pm. There are 25 seats for hand building with clay and 4 pottery wheels to use.

We will be tackling some group projects, building scenes inspired by real life and spending a lot of time on the wheels. As always, kids with some experience can drift away into their own imaginations, with help as they need it. Call The Clay Pit or email theclaypit@gmail.com to reserve!

A day off from school is a great day to be at The Clay Pit!

This Monday, February 18th, is President's Day, which is a day off for school-children and a perfect time to bring your kids to The Clay Pit. Karina will be available, by reservation, for most of the day. With four pottery wheels, your children can spend their time learning to throw pots or handbuild with clay.

Creative, fun, social, and focused, creating pottery at The Clay Pit is something that kids really enjoy. Contact Karina at 412-421-4221 to make a reservation or email us at theclaypit@gmail.com. Happy President's Day, everyone!
