My next time teaching for Saturday Art School is next Saturday. My students will be creating ceramic relief tiles and as I have been preparing for it I was reminded of Pewabic Pottery.
Pewabic Pottery is a historical landmark on the Eastside of Detroit. It was founded in 1903 by Mary Chase Perry Stratton as her studio during the Arts and Crafts movement. Many installations can be found around the country. Today the studio is also an education center, museum, and exhibition. Tours and classes would be great to take my students to. If this was not possible I could suggest it to the parents of my students to do on their own.
Here is a link to Pewabic Pottery for more information: http://www.pewabic.org
Ceramics is one of my favorite mediums. I can get lost in it for hours. I can't wait to introduce my students to it and see what they create!
Here are a few of my favorite pieces that I have done:

I would love to see you comment about your teaching experience!
By the way, I love your oil paintings! Can you also discuss your feelings about the subject matter, your technique and use of color?
I love to "get into" the head of an artist!
I will include more detail about my paintings soon. I'll try to post some more as well. :)
Teaching experience is posted!
