What's new at McQuay click & clay
Welcome to McQuay Click & Clay!
The Markets are on! We are at four Markets this year, with our portable wheel, so that anyone can make their own pottery item: Tuesdays at Little Current, Fridays at Gore Bay and Saturdays at Mindemoya. These markets are 9 am to 1 pm, and will run until the October Thanksgiving Weekend. This year for the first time we will also be at the Kagawong Market, begining July 2nd to the last Wednesday in August, 11 am - 4 pm.
Our potter's wheel has become a very popular activity. Last year over 150 people of all ages tried it out, and everyone made something, either a bowl or a vase or in some cases a plate. You make the item (it takes 15 - 20 minutes), then the potter fires it, glazes it and fires it again, all for only $16 plus delivery charge (if not on Manitoulin). Pottery making is also a feature at the Mindemoya Pioneer Museum on Monday afternoons in the summer, and instruction is also available at the McQuay Click & Clay studio.
