Alden Community Education: Pottery For Kids

I wish I had in-action photographs of my Pottery for Kids class offered in the evenings through the Alden Community Education Program, but my hands are just way to messy to touch a camera when I'm teaching that class:-)

The students absolutely love the class.  I now offer the classes as "Special Projects."  The first night the students create their clay pieces.  The second night they glaze all their pieces.  I usually offer 3 special projects during the Fall semester and three special projects during the Spring semester.  Some students have taken all 6 classes this year!  It's for all students, grades K-6.

So far this year, we've made hand-built ceramic kitchen sponge holders (frogs, snakes, flowers and monsters galore!), fish platters, mother's day coil-build flower pots and plant markers, pumpkin plates, turkey bowls, and Christmas ornaments!
