Thank You!

Thank you!
Dear Clay Studio Members and Supporters,

I wanted to start out by thanking everyone who has come to the studio and that I have had the privilege of meeting while working at The Smithy. I have enjoyed managing and teaching at the studio immensely. My last day as the Clay Studio Manager will be 12/09/22, as I leave to accept a new position as a K-12 art teacher. Again, I would like to thank everyone, including my co-workers and the board for this amazing opportunity and experience.

Adam Jennett

Studio Manager
