Happy New Year!

Welcome back to school.  Classes have already had their clay docent lessons since we returned from the Winter Break.

Just a couple of reminders:

• If your class is sculpting a pinch or coil project, remember to condition the clay at least one day before the lesson.
• If a child is absent the day of the lesson, please make arrangements with the teacher for the student to make up the lesson.
• Please put sample pieces back in their designated bin.

The kiln is up and running again.

Last Workshop for the 2011-2012 School Year

Yes, that’s right.  Monday, Nov 7, 2011, will be the last workshop for the school year.  If you have yet to attend a workshop, this will be your last chance to get trained on the sculpting and glazing techniques.  If you have already attended one of the previous workshops, we’ll have your clay pieces ready for you to glaze.  Also you can pick up any finished pieces that you have glazed in the previous workshops.

So come out and join us for some fun with clay.  Clay Docent is a great opportunity for you to get involved with your child’s class.  No experience is necessary.

We look forward to seeing you in the Science Lab on Monday, Nov 7, 2011 from 8:00 to 11:30 am. 

Clay Docent Program is in Full Swing

The first batch of glazed pieces have been fired.  The kids did a fantastic job making and glazing their pieces.  The kiln was full of fishes, snowmen and oval handprints.  The new glaze colors that we picked up this summer look great.  See for yourself...
