How can ceramics expect to get any respect when stuff like this goes
out... -Rimas
It's a CHILDREN'S project.
No it ain't art but it beats the heck out of coloring a jack-o-lantern
hand-out.
A free-form hands-on project is always better than fill-in-the-lines
or paint-by-numbers, the usual fare of art class activities.

Bonus Monday Pottery Video: Spooky Clay - How to Make a Clay Jack-o-lantern
We love Halloween here at Ceramic Arts Daily, and for today's post, we
wanted to have a little fun. So we called on our friend Lisa Bare Culp (who
is always a hoot) and she delivered.
In today's bonus Halloween video, Lisa demonstrates a fun, festive (and
spooky!) Halloween project suited for all ages. Happy Halloween everybody! =

Hi Rimas,
I just take the position that no, there will be no respect. Then if by
chance some comes along anyway, well, it's like gravy.
The world is awash in stuff like "that."
Hang in there,

I do this project in my kids classes. Once the pumpkin is made, it can be
made into so many projects...pumkin box, salt cellar, toad house, candle
holder... You can add leaves or critters. Kids love it. We call the piece
of wood used to make the ridges- "The Pumpkinizer".
On the other hand I have seen this kind of crap at shows... and people BUY
it!

Had you done so it would have been clear to you that the Pumpkin
Project itself is intended for young children, but that the video is
intended for adults, showing how to present the project to kids in an
engaging manner.
As my brother used to say, "Do you get all your exercise by jumping
to conclusions?"
C'mon Rimas, smile! Turn that ol' frown upside down!

Can someone tell me what is so terrible about a handmade, pinch pot clay ja=
ck-o-lantern, even if made by an adult? As opposed to say, a mug, a plate, =
a salt shaker, a French butter dish? There is planning involved, skill lea=
rned, an object created, and (heaven forbid) some fun! Would it be better i=
f it were wood-fired?
Sandy Henderson,
Wondering if "kitsch" is really such a bad thing . . .
