We started with pinch pots and progressed each week with a new technique and the students built their skills slowly. I would bring in photos from books and magazines each week to show examples of how great a pinch pot or coil pot can be just to show another way of doing things besides the wheel. During the first class as we made out pinch pots we had time to sit and share with each other stories of ourselves and get acquainted. I also used that time to talk about pottery and what we would be doing.<br />They really do like something nice to take home at the end.Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-15606510002569657292009-10-10T01:03:47.343-07:002009-10-10T01:03:47.343-07:00Hi Tracey,

It is a nice thing to aim for that "students will go home with their proud treasures and hopefully come back for more", I need to keep such things in mind when I teach.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078608554226394069noreply@blogger.com
