Teaching pottery

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of teaching three 5th grade art classes at Smithfield Elementary on how to make a hanging wall vase.   Each student had their own style with some very minimal texturing of the slabs and others went all out and stamped like crazy.  I was amazed by some of the students that had an obvious artistic talent.  I few days ago I received photos of the finished product.  I hope the students enjoyed the day as much as I did.

The teacher Sarah Lindberg has my total respect as I watched her teach three first grade classes while I rolled out slabs each day, then she helped me with the 5th grade classes.  
Last week I glazed pieces for three galleries.  In addition I made a few pieces for my show stock.  These three vases along with many other nice pieces will be taken to the Carolina Clay Matters Pottery Festival on May 14th.

Butter Dishes and a new gallery

Today I started an order from a new gallery on Ocracoke Island.  At the end of  May the Village Craftsmen will start to carry my pottery.   They have ordered a great selection of my pieces.  In a few weeks I will be glazing orders for 3 galleries.  I am glad to be busy.

Next week I will be teaching a local fifth grade art class.   I will be there 4 days for 4 different classes.  So, in 50 minutes each class I have to teach a slab project on making a hanging wall vase.  I will go in early to roll out slabs for the students.  This was set up through our local pottery guild (Carolina Clay Matters)  as a way of helping out local schools to teach clay to their students.  What I found interesting is that every school in our district has a kiln and some don't even get used because the art teachers may not even know how to fire the kiln.  Check back in a few weeks to hear about my experience.

Also, only one week left to receive FREE SHIPPING by using the coupon code (newwebsite) at checkout.  expires 4/15/16
