Arlene Groch, AKA The Deerclayer is also the founder and main force behind Clayathon which just celebrated its 10th year. Philly Guild Cheerleader Sarah Sorlien asked the attendees to make animals covered with houndstooth canes and put them on Arlene’s workspace when she wasn’t looking. As Arlene tried to figure out who left a figurine, another one would appear. Finally, we got together and had a ceremony where Arlene was formally declared The Deerclayer and crowned with a deerstalker hat.
Enjoy the pictures!
Thanks Arlene!!

Kudos to Guild Member Kate Clawson who designed the card and wrote the verse as well as to all the houndstooth zookeepers!
