Greetings!
 Art A Whirl was a huge success this year! Attendance was 2200, breaking all of our previous records. It was great to see so many of you and getting to meet so many new people.
Layl did spontaneous Mini Millifiore classes and Josh set up hundreds of tiles for Art-a-Whirlers to create designs and play with handmade tiles. Some people spent over an hour hanging out and enjoying all of the fun materials laid out.

enthusiast, at right.)

"House Number Season" has arrived! Yes we do call it a season here, because it starts in May and runs to December 31st. This seems to be the time for everyone to spice up their homes with new, cool house numbers creating great curb appeal, don't ya know. Check out all of our designs and color combos. If you don't see what you like, or if you have a unique space to fit house numbers into, call Josh so he can help you customize your Clay Squared house numbers.

| Clay Squared Assistant Wins Award! |
Our wonderful assistant Chris Madsen was an award winner at the Flow Art Space show, "Polymer Clay- Gallery Style" Her piece "N.I.M.B.Y." won third place in the emerging artist category. This show closes this Saturday, June 15th.
 | "Home Sweet N.I.M.B.Y."
(Not In My Backyard) |
The entire work was a whole neighborhood of houses about 3 inches tall and filled with tiny, amazing details. The piece was one that caused a lot of conversation among viewers as they tried to discover exactly what the message of the art was to them and what the artist intended.

| Meet Michael |
Every summer Chris Webber, our long time studio assistant, leaves us to work on landscaping. This leaves us with opportunities to let other people come in and play.
Michael Flora is from California and recently moved here. He is a self proclaimed tea connoisseur and has traveled to China to study tea. We have tested him and he really knows his tea leaves. Needless to say we have lots of tea breaks now...well a few more than before... and some with cookies. Yes, we have it hard here at Clay Squared but someone has to do it, so it might as well be us. But you are all invited to come anytime and hang out, read some of our tile library, talk tile (or tea) and check out Michael's fabulous California accent.

| Tile Project of the Month |
Our tiles travel to lands far far away. This modern kitchen mosaic was sent to us from Norway! They tied the record for longest distance to-date of Clay Squared tiles. Amazingly, this is our second Norway tile project in the past couple years. (But they win because they were first to send us photos!)
