The Chamber of Commerce and some of our Ambassadors welcomed a new business to town…that’s inside an already established business! A Natural Glo Pottery Practice is up and running. It’s located inside Emorbe Emporium at 102 N. Main in Clinton. Here’s more from Gloria: Our mission/goal would be to create a Makerspace. This could also be considered a Third Space. “The third place refers to the social surroundings that are separate from the two usual social environments of home (“first place”) and the workplace (“second place”). So it is our mission to create this much needed third space in our community to provide a place for creative connection.
