Clay Portrait Sculptures


I love these babies. They are heading into high school in a few weeks... The 8th graders that I have had now for three years will be terribly missed. They are an amazing group of young people. That's the funny thing about teaching a connections class in a middle school. You get to see almost all of the students (minus band and whatnot)... You get to see them go from elementary to high school in the blink of an eye. They mature, they grow, they learn, they open their eyes to new things... Best of luck to them!

Shurley it's Clay!

Our fabulous Claire Shurley, the student teacher/visiting artist, is working with our 7th grade students on their clay/ceramic masks. She's amazing... they love her... she's talented. What a great person to have here at JMS! Here are some in progress pieces (action shots, if you will!):

Can't get enough!



I love these guys. I enjoy these 8th graders so much in the morning. Maybe that's because I'm not worn down! For whatever reason, I truly enjoy watching them work and getting to know them as young adults. They are wonderful... and so are their prints!
