This year I'm teaching two Ceramics classes (and Ms. Ruzzier is teaching one) and I can say from both of us, it's one of our favorite mediums to teach. Why? because the kids love it, and they make work that is so original and creative. They learn so much about problem solving and for the most part they enjoy the whole process and not just the outcome. Here are some photos of my students' current work using the "double pinch" technique. The elephant teapot makes me smile because I remember how much we laughed when I accidentally dropped a wooden tool inside it (before the lid was cut) and we couldn't get it out for a day or two!
