Snack and Squish “Multiplication and Division”

Clay Squared, 2505 Howard St. NE, invites the community into their studios Wednesday, March 12, 12-1 pm, (every second Wednesday of the month) to make your lunch break out-of-this-world fun! Josh Blanc is a handmade tile maker and his studio creates tiles for residential and commercial spaces. Layl McDill is a polymer clay artist that creates mixed media sculptures and teaches classes in the Clay Squared Gallery. They are celebrating Pi Day two days early with some math and art. And how about some pie too! Josh Blanc will talk about how the math he thought he would never use in school turned out to be something that is part of his tile making process everyday. He will let everyone play with trim tile making and getting those angles to work out. Layl McDill classes always involve the announcement that it’s time for the “math portion of the class” where she hears hoorays and groans. But it turns out multiplying and dividing clay is actually really fun. They will be revealing surprising connections while you learn more about Clay Squared and have interesting conversations
