As a result of this program 7-12th grade students will gain a better understanding of the pottery wheel and/or improve upon their skill level in both wheel and hand built pottery, and outdoor firing of clay, as well as use of a pug mill. Community members who wish to participate in the Community Education classes will also have the same opportunity. We will conduct a post-activity survey asking participants: What techniques did you learn while using clay? What was challenging for you? What did you enjoy the most? Was the artist effective in relaying instructions'? Would you like to take a class like this again in the future?
As a result of this program 82 junior high, senior high and adult students experienced a greater knowledge and skill of pottery practices in the area of wheel throwing and handbuilding projects. Students were introduces to a pugmill, and raku kiln/smoke firing, and the trimming and throwing of clay on the potter's wheel as well as making whistles and rattles.
