Project Overview
The children, with direction from Maureen of Maureen Carlson's Center for
Creative Arts, will create an imaginative clay character complete with its name and story. Some participants will choose and prepare clay, while others will choose the personality, etc., of the character. Maureen does most of the actual clay sculpting and building, but the whole group will take ownership due to their important part in determining the direction of the story.

Each program always starts with a basket of multi-colored clay, and it always ends up
Measurable Outcome(s)
Children were mesmerized by Maureen's storytelling. Children that are normally observers were active participants in building a story. Each library was left with a wonderful figurine on display.
