Ceramics and Clay

Hunter's Pot

Emma's Fish

Hunter and Emma just finished a ceramics class that was offered through the community. They went every week for 6 weeks and made some really fun things! They still have some projects curing on the shelves at the studio, and we’ll add those to the gallery too when they’re ready. (Also in the gallery are pictures of Emma’s projects from her after-school class where she painted ceramics. Hunter took a “Mad Science” class and it was a blast, but there weren’t any projects to include in the gallery.) It was great fun for them and the little girls loved it too because we would play at the park next door during the class and watch the ducks on the pond there. We even fed the ducks sometimes which Hannah and Sabrina especially loved.

Now that this class is over, it’s on to bowling class, and although the kids were super late to their first class because we got stuck at an orthodontist appointment for Emma, it looks to be great fun as well. I just may need to bring a roll of quarters to keep Hannah busy at the video games because she would love to bowl right along with the big kids.

    Sounds like fun. Right now Liv is the only one who is old enough to take “classes” and she will be taking a break for the summer. I am excited for classes to start up again in the fall.

    Great Job Hunter and Emma. We love your projects you both are very creative. Adler would LOVE to take a ceramics class. I should look in to it for him he is very artsy also.

    That sounds so fun for your kids. I think it’s so important for them to stay involved and have it be FUN stuff that will keep them coming back. I remember taking an art class (yeah, didn’t do a whole lot of good…) at a church in Oakdale in the afternoons. I was still in elementary school and I don’t remember how many times we went or anything, but I do remember that it WASN”T in school and it WAS fun. I’ll need to scope out things like that here in our neck of the woods.

    So, when are you heading back to Oakdale? I’ll be there the last week of July. And then won’t be back until December (hopefully!).

    I love the way you take all the pictures and then chronicle the children’s accomplishments. Just terrific.

    Seeing your beautiful art work got me in gear and I got the boys signed up for art in the park. Thank You. I hope they enjoy it as much as Hunter and Emma did.
