Every Spring, MDPAG holds a 4-day clay fest at the Columbiere Center in Clarkston, Michigan. Here we gather for a long weekend of uninterrupted claying, away from phones, televisions and other daily distractions. Meals are prepared and served cafeteria style, so no dishes to do either!

MDPAG Retreat is a wonderful chance to explore new ideas and gather inspiration as well as create lasting friendships with other clayers from near and far. There are classes featuring nationally known teachers, as well as our own skilled members, sharing their techniques and years of experience. Our Board puts together fabulous Goodie Bags for everyone, often with new products to try. If you love polymer clay art like we do, our Silent Auction is a great place to add to your collection. All in all, in it's an experience like no other.
