Tucker has some fantastic bodies, and whoever is fortunate enough to have a
supplier nearby should try them. One of the fun things is that their dark
red/brick colored (ok, RR, "coloured") c 6 clay is tinted with black iron
oxide which, for some reason I accept as mystery and magic, and do NOT want
explained to me) does not stain.
MS STUDENT: I wonder about this. Strength in throwing is required mainly
for centering/opening . May I suggest this student with MS have you center
and open a ball of clay, and let him then throw it....If, D.v., this works
then someone bright can device a jiggering type doohickey for him....
SELF EVALUATION? SELF evaluation? May this gorgeous, charismatic,
brilliant, accomplished, talented, charming, modest potter ask: IS there
another kind that matters? A student is asked wot do you think of y'self.
Student has self-confident, eager, joyful "I am wonderful"
attitude...teacher slams her end of term. Student has pessimistic,
depressed, hopeless " I am a failure at whatever I do" mind-set, teacher
gives pat-on-the-back grade. Good grief. What a student should learn is to
trust her judgment, to go for what SHE wants, change teachers if she does
not get support, and develop the self-confidence she will need when she gets
out in the real world, also known as the market place.
So here is this kid, immature, awkward, uncertain, revealing these
anxieties, or projecting bravado, and the teacher--not a trained
psychologist I assume--uses this to leverage the grade. Oy!
CLAYART. for the past I have been reduced to reading the Archives, because
I have not been getting the daily dose of the digest...is this my inadequacy
or is something else wrong?
