Past yr, my very first via fourth established clay mugs and it was quickly everyone’s beloved clay project. When I shared that we were working with clay yet again, a several weeks back, their initially query was “are we producing mugs once again?!” I experienced currently planned on it…so they were being fired up to listen to the reply. The moment mugs are total, we celebrate by ingesting sizzling chocolate out of them…so it’s a whole great deal of exciting. 

This yr, I made a video clip to share with them. Due to the fact I have 30 minute artwork courses, I only confirmed the pinch pot portion and a bit of coil earning for the to start with class. The 2nd course, we did a quick coil earning reminder and then viewed the portion about making a take care of. The online video helped them trouble shoot and get their mugs finished in just two 30 minute lessons!
