Thank you for making Clayfest 2025 amazing!
As the mud gets washed off and the tidying-loose-ends work begins, here are just a few of the first lovely noises that emerged from Clayfest 2025…
“You smashed it guys!”
“Fanks for everything my mud family!”
“Huge thanks to you all, for the organising, planning, accounting, marketing, doing… present on site or not, you ROCKED IT! Again. It was mind-blowing to me! I really wish I could stay for longer with everyone..”
“To all who had a big and little part to play in organising and running this, it was such a joy. Thank you for letting me be a part of it all. I feel such glow and warmth from knowing you all. Community really was the word for Clayfest 2025.”
“Thank you all for putting on a brilliant event. I came into it pretty broken, but left filled with joy and hope.”
“I had the best time!”
“To all the EBUKI team. Thank you so so much for all the effort you put into making last weekend at Clayfest happen. It truly was a wonderful experience, and I have gained so much from it. I understand that bringing it all together requires an enormous amount of effort and work from many people. This work is incredibly important, not just from a practical standpoint, but also from a spiritual and emotional place. Building with clay, connecting deeply with the material, and hearing the stories of others who work with clay create a ripple effect of hope amidst our current climate. We all return to our little caves, but the rememberance of what we have gained continues to permeate deep within.”
