You’re invited!
Both my Monday and Tuesday after school clay classes will be displaying their most recent work at the Space Gallery today from 4:00pm – 7:00pm. We’re sharing the gallery with the After School Art Club and their work – come on out to see some great children’s art! I spent a part of yesterday afternoon setting up and can hardly wait to see the kid’s expressions when they see their finished masterpieces in a gallery setting. All the work is for sale and we will be donating the proceeds to a charity – yet to be decided. We will be voting next week.
Remember the slip transfers I highlighted in the past couple of weeks? This is the technique the kids also used for their gallery show. I really think they’ve done their best work. Just in case you can’t attend the opening, here’s what you’re missing:
Here’s one of my favorites – “Lucky”, by Anna, (3rd grade) after doing the slip transfer, and then finished. I was a little worried that the dog was too small, but should have trusted her creative instincts.
Have a great week,

I love their work and am just so darn proud, Janet
My photographs don’t do them justice…

Oh wow! They’re fantastic! I wish I could come to see them in the flesh! I don’t think I could even pick a favourite, but I love the elephant! Well done to all your students!

It’s wonderful that you share your love of clay & your creativity with young people. You may never know how much it will affect them, but the one thing you can be sure of is it will. Their pieces are just wonderful!

Oh, I wish I could be there. I love children’s art! These pictures are great. I’ve taught children many times, and it is so much fun. Their perspective is like no other.
Have a blast at your opening,
Jean
p.s. I love the camel!

There are so many to choose from, I can’t pick a favourite.

Hi Everyone – the show was great last night and almost every single piece sold! Very excited about seeing most of the kids (outside of class), their parents and the crowd milling about talking about how fabulous the work was.

I love this whole thing with the kids art. It is too bad I didn’t read it until early this morning as this is the 15th and I’ve missed it I think. They do such neat, meaning good original and fresh, work. I love it. I want you for a teacher!

The technical term may be “naive” but these images show a lot of thought. Well done, everyone!
