Join us asDay in Clayenters its 10th year. Over the past year, Day-in-Clay visited over 40 schools with single day to week-long residencies. Cliff Mendelson, a professional artist and teacher, provides an energetic program tailored to meet faculty needs. The excitement generated by the program is captured in the photographs of students (see http://day-in-clay.com) and in the response of participating schools.
“Cliff was professional, organized, and inspired each and every one of the (100+) students to explore clay as a viable art form. Cliff is a true teacher....although I have been teaching for 29 years and consider myself accomplished in the field; Cliff taught me new techniques and inspired me beyond measure..."
—Helene S. Davis, Arts Director, School District of the Chatham’s/New Jersey.
