I really need to get our kiln fixed up-it needs a new lid. It is one of my goals for the summer-I have a dream of making a set of dishes and bowls for my family!

I love your blog :) I've never been an "artistic" person besides a mad passionate love for visiting galleries, supporting local artists, and my own photography. So I wanted to cultivate a love of not only appreciating art, but nurturing the creativity that exists in children. So I read your blog, look at what your little ones are producing, and pour out some tempra paints near a huge sheet of butcher paper and let my 22 month go to town. I let her roll clay between her hands, and learn how it moves and changes, and how you can change the consistancy with water or a hair dryer :) And I'm loving finding green paint behind my girls ear days after we have used green paint (though I suppose that speaks poorly to my hygene habits) So thanks :) So totally not responding to this subject in particular, but your blog as a whole.

Alissa, We also found some in the creekbed at Slate Run down by the first bridge on the path by the privy. I don't know if you ever would get clear out there though, but something to keep in mind if you do. Also, my scouts found some in Blendon Woods in the creekbed last summer PS.

We've lost all those wonderful monsters Steven made :( Without the kiln, will the kids sculptures last? Hey Kristen, We have been buying that air dry clay at prisms, but when it dries , it breaks.

Without the kiln, will the kids sculptures last?

We also dug a bunch up at the beach at Delaware State Park. We brought buckets home. We let it dry out, smasherd it up into crumbs and wet it down again. I think Molly even took some into her class to use. ALISSA—-Try Columbus Clay on 5th. We also dug a bunch up at the beach at Delaware State Park. We brought buckets home.

Hey, do you know where to get local, Ohio clay? Someone told me once there is a place you can either buy it or dig it out yourself. When I was a girl, we lived near a place that had very red, clay soil (in Oklahoma.) We used to dig it out and make stuff, and I have always wanted to boys to be able to do this, and see where it comes from! XO Cool. Hey, do you know where to get local, Ohio clay?
