On the weekend of November 19 – 20, the wonderful ladies at Secret Teatime ceramics studio, Helen Kong and Sorlie Maddox, hosted three workshops for JETAA. All three of the much-anticipated ceramics workshops in “Kiln You Softly Weekend ForClay” were well attended. A total of 13 JETAA members participated in the 3 workshops.
