Pottery Video of the Week: A Great Lesson Plan for Understanding Clay and the Human Figure
It’s that time of year again. Students and teachers are heading back to school. So we thought we’d have a back-to-school sale on of our most popular DVD for the education set – Neil Patterson’s Clay Projects and Fundamentals. Perhaps the best way to gain an understanding of clay and all it’s properties is to pick up a lump and start shaping it.

This project also ties in well with history and world cultures lessons.
