About
Nicole Bauberger has been experimenting with Yukon clays this past springs and summer. She has harvested and wedged some clay that runs down the clay cliffs for you to try. It's trickier than commercial clay, but it's handy. With some simple tools, we invite you to make what you can with it. You can also try pressing glass beads into the clay.
You can take your pieces home with you if you want, leave them by the river to dissolve with the rain and snow, or leave them for Nicole to fire. They will be all together in a box at the Yukon Artists @ Work Gallery November 1-14 if you would like to try to find yours.
This event is drop-in but will have limited space.
