Discover Your Inner Artist at Art House KIFA's Cascio Clay Center

November 2025 saw the grand opening reception of the Cascio Clay Center at Kent Island Federation of Arts (KIFA). Cascio Clay Center Executive Director, Stephanie Zeiler, welcomed and thanked everyone for attending. The opening of the Cascio Clay Center is the result of the hard work by KIFA volunteers, paid staff, local contractors and other wonderful people within the community.

Carole Casio was an active member of KIFA and also ArtEast and Working Artists Forum in Easton. Carole’s initial career focus was on dance and physical education and also devoted much of her time as a painter and ceramist. She created many watercolors and clay works on display and sold at local galleries Easton, Annapolis and Chestertown. Carole died in her home in Stevensville at the age of 78. To enjoy her art, visit www.carolecasciofund.org/about-carole-cascio/.

Following are current classes and workshops offered at Cascio Clay Center. Contact Stephanie Zeiler at [email protected] with questions, ideas or interests in specific types of workshops, classes or customized personal classes/parties.
