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!
