Tresa Killion Visits Washington Elementary – Sedalia, MO
In February, juried Best of Missouri Hands clay artist, Tresa Killion made three school visits to Washington Elementary in Sedalia, MO.
I was able to work with about 200 students, maybe had 25 or so adults (teachers). Grade levels worked with were K-4th Grade. Each child was presented with the basics of clay, tools & equipment used in clay work.
A project specific for each grade level was shown to the class, then we jumped right in! Every child made their own piece with direction from myself & Miss Blakemore. This was an extremely fulfilling & rewarding time with these children. There are many children at Washington Elementary with challenges, but to see them achieve making a project from clay & to hear their enthusiasm was just an amazing experience.
