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.
