From the world of Clay Squared to Infinity comes a galaxy of clay creations. Artists Josh Blanc and Layl McDill launched their works from a home-based attic/studio in 1996. Since those early beginnings, they have grown and expanded out of multiple locations and continue to enjoy sharing their love of beautiful craft and artistry.
The newly named Flux Arts Building in the vibrant Northeast Minneapolis Arts District is now home to Clay Squared's latest studio and showroom. Clay Squared and Potek Glass acquired and completely renovated the building in 2018. Their new space offers a larger showroom, additional studios, a gallery, and more classroom space.

Well, we don't just play with clay, we create with clay. We craft ceramic tiles as inspiring and functional use in kitchen and bathroom designs, or on fireplaces or floors. We create fantastical sculpture out of polymer clay. We explore the outer reaches of possibility using clay as a medium and our hands as tools.
Layl McDill began working in polymer clay in 1993. Through the years, she has developed a millefiori process by which she first creates an illustration and then builds it into a colored polymer clay cane. Silly Millies are slice and bake polymer clay millefiori canes. A picture extends all the way through the cylinder of clay called a cane.

I actually froze in place when I first saw the "teapots" by Layl McDill during the giant multi-day 2018 Art Fair held in Northfield, MN. Her art is so very colorful, decorative, unique, and mind-bending into "How did she do that!?" It has only one problem--one cannot use the teapots to brew tea. It's not a healthy idea to put food on polymer clay, but if you want a guaranteed conversation starter and a unique beautiful piece of art on your shelf--here is a lovely possibility.
Besides a chance to see the art pieces, it was a lovely gift to see Layl working on a sculpture and explaining how she
