A new venture –starting in January, I will be spending 2 days a week working with kids and clay. As Artist in Residence for Prospect School I will work with all the classes, kids from kindergarten to grade 5 level, teaching some basic skills for working with clay. Of course there will be play and discovery leading to each student producing a piece of art.
The basic techniques that will be introduced are: slab work, coiling and pinch pots. The kids will imprint and mark the clay as well they will use coloured slips and a transparent glaze to add some permanence to their piece.

Lucky kids, I say. I came here from your niece’s knit blog. Love your work.
Thanks, I am very excited about doing this project.
