Clay Centre Covid Precautions:

The six artists showing at The Clay Centre are all fully vaccinated and we will also be wearing masks as an extra precaution. We ask that our visitors also be masked while inside our studios. Some of our artwork will be displayed in our outdoor courtyard, and we will open windows and doors to our respective studios to create airflow. For our indoor spaces, we will attempt to control the flow of visitors so that people can comfortably distance themselves.
