Fun to hear Avra’s story and the added context from Garth. Avra relates the story of the clay scene over the last 40+ years! Thanks for doing these Garth. Cheers, David
Avra and Garth, what a great conversation! We’re excited to have taken up the SFC baton, and to bring innovation, expansion and new opportunities to this Santa Fe institution.
And a big “thank you” to all those who’ve made us feel so at home!
