    Need Info?

    Need Info? | the dirt | Jenni Ward ceramic sculptureThanks so much to all of you who follow me on social media, come to events and ask about what’s going on in my art world, I love being connected to you all! But, if that’s the only way we keep in touch, it’s likely that you’re actually missing out on some stuff…

    The best way to solve that problem is to join the mailing list! I only send one email per month, so I promise not to overload your inbox! All 12 emails per year are filled with photos and info all about my art, events and classes going on at the studio. Opening this once a month email is the best way to find out about everything going on in my art world. If you find that you want more info, more often from me, you can always adjust your settings to receive a weekly email from me with all the weeks blog posts from The Dirt.

     

    Interested in classes at the studio? The next email in January will have the upcoming winter/spring schedule!

    Interested in buying art from the online store? Upcoming emails will have free shipping codes and let you know when new work has been launched.

    Do You You Tube?

    Videos are the best way I can share what I do with my art when I’m installing them out in the world, one or two photos just doesn’t seem to do these installations justice. So if you You Tube, be sure to check out my channel, subscribe and let me know what you think!

    Wrapping Up Classes at the Studio

    Wrapping Up Classes at the Studio | the dirt | Jenni Ward ceramic sculpture

     

    We are in the final days of classes at the new studio for 2016 and everyone will be glazing like mad to get their projects finished for the holidays. There are some amazing gifts being created here for some lucky loved ones! I am always so impressed with my students work; their ideas, craftsmanship and commitment to learning about clay makes it an honor to be their teacher. I love seeing how just the process of touching and manipulating clay in their hands can transform their whole day. I hope you can join us next year at the studio!

    If you are interested in being cr8iv at the studio, please join the mailing list, our 2017 schedule will be coming out soon!

    Teacher Gift Ideas!

    Teacher Gift Ideas | the dirt | Jenni Ward ceramic sculpture

    Need a great gift idea for your kids teachers?

     

    Four downloadable ebooks, Create with Clay 1 – 4 were created with my 15+ years experience teaching clay in the classroom and designed with the help of art teacher extraordinaire Kathy Barbro of Art Projects for Kids.

    Each book includes 5 step-by-step classroom tested projects for working with clay. If your kid’s school doesn’t have a clay or art program, this can be a simple way to help teachers give some creative classroom time to their students.

    At only $5. each they are an affordable and unique gift for any teacher.
