I teach all 600 or so littles, all about clay forms every year at school and each kid gets to get their hands dirty and then take home something special. I absolutely love their excitement when I announce it's time for CLAY! They love it and so do I. I'm looking forward to teaching others about my love for this most amazing art form. My love is truly "From the Art"!!
