Much fun was had by all making clay Halloween crafts!  First, slabs of clay were laid out and each participant got one along with a pattern.  With the able instruction from the clayhouse staff and experienced members, even beginners were able to create their very own beautiful clay witches!  Into the oven (kiln) they will go (Hansel and Gretl, you win this time!) to be fired , then glazed and then fired once more!
