Clay House Art



March 14 to 16 Clay House Art will be exhibiting at the National Art Education Association’s Annual Conference hosted this year in the beautiful city of Boston. This will be our second NAEA and we absolutely LOVE the energy that comes from being around passionate art educators who are excited to try our products.

This year we will be doing something special for NAEA: A Studio Workshop, Exclusive products, Artmaking Station, Giveaways, and Special Guest Lectures are just a few things to look forward to in Boston. If you want to learn how to unlock the full potential of air dry clay, make sure to come to visit us at Booth 621.
