Dear Clayart people,
I volunteer one day a week at a local high school ceramic class teaching
the students how to throw. There is one student who has muscular dystrophy
who is in a wheel chair. The art teacher told me that the student will not
be able to do the throwing part of the class mostly because of a lack of
strength. The teacher thought that maybe the student could use the wheel to
do some color banding on pre-made pots but could'nt think of anything else.
Are there any other ideas from the Clayart collective wisdom? Thanks for
any ideas you may have.

Thanks to all who replied. I have some additional ideas now that I can suggest to the teacher.
Just to clarify the situation... the student has been doing all the other handbuilding projects ... pinch
pots, coil and slab. It was just the throwing part that was in question.
