Clark County School District has participated in Feats of Clay, which is held across the country, for the last several years.  Students’ skill, creativity and team work are tested as they compete, using traditional and non-traditional techniques (using head, knees, etc.), to win in timed events such as No Hands Throwing, Cylinder Stacking, Coil Building, Pinch Pot with Feet, Mug-a-thon, and House of Cards.  Concurrently student work will be displayed in the Victor F Keen Gallery at Clay Arts Vegas.

Clay Arts Vegas was started in 2011 as a collaboration amongst artists living and working in the Las Vegas Area to celebrate clay and other three dimensional art.  Their studio, gallery, shop, and educational space are all located in the Arts District of Las Vegas.  The mission of Clay Arts Vegas is the advancement of ceramics and of the ceramic community in the Arts District and burgeoning arts culture in Las Vegas.
