It’s fall 2026, and we’re feeling a little nostalgic as Maine Clay gets ready to hit the two-year mark 😵💫
Over these past two years, you’ve gotten to know Linda and Sam. You know our values, our dreams for this place, and maybe even our voices. But Maine Clay is supported by so much more than just the two of us
We’re thankful to work alongside a truly wonderful and talented group of educators. They bring their own ways of making, teaching, thinking, and being in community, and we want you to know and love them as much as we do.
➜➜ So, meet the Maine Clay teaching team ➜➜
The timing is pretty perfect -- and that's maybe by intention. Fall classes begin this week, and there’s still time to learn with these amazing people. If you’re looking for a way in, we have a seat for you ♡♡♡
