It is expected that those attending It’s Only Clay events will be of mixed age and experience. Activities for It’s Only Clay are formatted to be of interest to a wide range of experience and interest in ceramic art. It’s Only Clay hopes to inspire new thoughts and ideas by exposing individuals to a variety of clay bodies, glazing techniques, surface design and wheel thrown vs hand built construction. Works exhibited at the Watermark Art Center will help broaden awareness of the possibilities of the medium and to relevant artists in the field. We will use a short survey for the workshop participants and for those attending the lecture to assess the participant's ceramic art experience, interest and knowledge. Other questions will be used rate the workshop and lecture content, quality of presenter and impact that the sessions had on the individual participant. For exhibit feedback we will rely on guest book comments and on-site observations by the staff and volunteers.
The evaluation tool changed from original application. It was suggested we "strengthen the connection between the evaluation and outcomes." Our new focus was on audience age, what level of knowledge they have of ceramic arts and what kind of impact or influence the exhibit may have on them or their own work. Although we know there were students 18 and under at the exhibit, no one under 20 completed the survey. Feedback was collected from those 21 and older with the majority being over 55.
