The Clay Lady

Our plates. The moms even got to make one so I made a princess plate for Elye.

Reesi and I went on her class field trip last week to see Danielle, The Clay Lady. I've had The Clay Lady come do things with my kindergarten class many years ago. Now she has this amazing warehouse, studio, and artist's co-op. I was so impressed. She is always so good with the children and she knows how to manage a big group of kids. We made heart plates, toured her warehouse, watched an artist "throw a pot," and looked at the work in the gallery. My favorite part was when I was joking with Reesi and one of her friends. Reesi turned around, looked up at me seriously, and said, "Mom, I told you not to be yourself." In spite of that comment, she was really sweet the whole time. She wanted to hang back with me and hold my hand. So sweet. I'm not sure how much longer she will do that on field trips! It definitely made the field trip worthwhile!
