Layl McDill brings Millefiori to EAC
Millefiori means "thousand flowers" in Italian, it originated as a glass blowing technique . Layl McDill creates millefiori pieces with polymer clay.  Her exiting 2025 exhibit, “Crops of Curiosity - Art About Farming” will be on display in the Evansville Art Center Gallery during the month of September.  Layl is the Co owner of Clay Squared to Infinity in Minneapolis and Art to Change the World Board Chair.
Her technique and materials are very mysterious. She primarily uses polymer clay with the ancient technique of millefiori. Tiny images that cover every surface of her sculptures inevitably make the viewer wonder “How did she do that?”  And even though she have been doing it for twenty years, it still seems amazing to her that she can create a tiny picture that can be inside a chunk of clay. She also likes to incorporate found objects and her own colored pencil sketches in her work.  Playful and serious art at the same time!
This unique, colorful, creative exhibit may be seen during regular Gallery hours on 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, or by special appointment.

FEE: FREE

Tuesday Nightclub will grace the EAC stage on Friday, September 5 with their smooth jazzy style.
Most often playing sweet background sounds for restaurants, wine bars and gatherings, they are looking forward to being in front of a captive listening audience, saying it is always fun and a little terrifying. 

The trio includes Jim Faber on bass and vocals, Mary Lou Thunsell on vocals,  and Terry Kennedy on guitar. 

Their repertoire for the evening will center heavily on showtunes and jazz standards from the 30’s and 40’s with a few ringers thrown in!. It promises to be a night listening ears and tapping toes will love!

There is no charge for this event.  Donations are always gratefully accepted.  Feel free to bring a treat to share at intermission if you wish. Beverages will be provided.

Millefiori means "thousand flowers" in Italian. It originated as a glass blowing technique and now you can learn it in the form of polymer clay. Layl will walk you through the steps of creating your own millefiori designs. When you slice up the clay you will be amazed at the tiny images you created! Then choose an object like a frame, switch plate, vase, or pen to cover with your little slices.

Take your transformed object home to bake in your own oven.

There is no charge for this workshop.  To register, email Layl directly at: layl@claysquared.com
