Save the Date - Workshop Schedule

The Clay Docent Workshops have been scheduled for the following dates:

• Sept. 17, 2012 (Mon)
• Oct. 8, 2012 (Mon)
• Nov. 5, 2012 (Mon)

All workshops will be held from 8-11:30am in the Science Lab.  Attendance at all three workshops is not required.

For those new to the program, the Clay Docent Workshops are on a drop-in basis.  From 8:30-9:30am, there will be a demonstration of the 3 clay techniques (slab, pinch and coil)  that will be used for the 3 grade level projects.  If you cannot be there for the clay technique demonstration, you can ask one of the Clay Docent Committee Members for a demonstration any time during the Workshop.  

With everyone's busy schedules, we understand that you may not be able to attend all three workshops.  Therefore, we recommend that you try to make all three of your grade level projects at your first workshop.  Then at the next workshop, if you were not able to complete all of the projects you can then do so.

For a list of the grade-level projects, please click on the "Projects" tab in the menu bar or on the grade level link under "Grade Level Projects" in the right-hand column.  Grade level projects are subject to change.  We are still finalizing all projects for this year.

If you have any questions, please contact the Clay Docent Committee at BHClayDocent@yahoo.com.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back!  We hope you had a fun filled summer and are ready to sculpt some clay.  We are.

First I would like to welcome Fritzie Sampani to the Clay Docent Committee.  We are excited to have her join us.

Also we would like to say "Good Luck" to our long time Clay Docent co-Chair, Hedieh Yaghmai-Steele.  Hedieh has moved to another school district.  We've enjoyed working with her and will miss her greatly.

So now back to business.  We will be hosting 3 Open House Workshops where you will be trained on the 3 sculpting techniques (slab, pinch and coil) along with a few glazing techniques.  We have yet to set the dates of the workshops, so please check back.  As soon as we schedule the workshops, we will post them here and in the weekly school bulletin.

If you have any questions, please email us at BHClayDocent@yahoo.com.
