Greetings,
Summer is upon us and there is a lot going on at ClayHouston. First, though, I want to wish Ali Saunders, our treasurer, a very successful residency at the Flower City Arts Center in Rochester, NY. She will be gone for a year. Good luck Ali! Have a wonderful time and be sure to keep in touch.
With Aki leaving, we need a new treasurer, If any of you have accounting skills and would like to be a part of our ClayHouston board, please contact me, anne@steacy.org.
Congratulations to our members Angela Corson and Vivian Pastor, both have pieces in the Glassell student show. Be sure to check out the show when you are at “Social Media for the Visual Artist” this weekend.

Message from Bayou Bend - Museum of Fine Arts
My name is Joey Milillo, and I am the Programs Manager at Bayou Bend, a branch of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston located near Memorial Park. Our collection contains many ceramics of various types, and in August we will be producing a family program focused on learning more about ceramics and pottery.
I would love to find a local potter with a transportable wheel who might be interested in holding a demo for this program. It would be a pretty straightforward deal – come out, bring the wheel, and sit at it making pottery while talking about your process with passersby.
The event takes place on three Fridays in August – the 3rd, 10th, and 17th. Hours are 1 – 3 p.m., but the potter should account for time to set up and break down, so they’ll likely be here a little longer than that each day.
We provide an honorarium for this program ($200 per date, total $600 for all three days).
For more information or to inquire about this opportunity, please contact:
