October 2011 



Dear American Clay Community,

Croft 

It is once again time to start the application contest for an American Clay remodel project.  I am excited to see what you send in, and look forward to another year of great inspiration from your work.   

 

On another note we have had several presenters do continued Education courses for architects and designers in the last couple of weeks.  The feedback has been very positive, and we have had great results from the classes.  I look forward to continued input, and more classes being given.  If you are interested in becoming a presenter, please get give us a call.  If you are interested in having a course provided to you or your firm, give us a call also, or take a look at the website.  There is a new section that highlights the presenters and where they are located.  This CE course has been a long time coming, but now that it is here use it.  I look forward to a great month, and continued success in the projects at hand.
