CERAMICS IN THE CLASSROOM Educator Guide

Educators, families, and adults are invited to use this guide as a resource to explore the world of ceramics. The art of sculpting and shaping clay has been around for centuries and is one of the oldest forms of art.

Developed by artist and educator, Jihan Thomas, this guide is intended to present ceramics from a global perspective and to encourage classes to be inspired by this art form and to connect with it in a variety of ways.

The activities and resources included are designed for students of all ages and include connections to National Arts Standards. While exploring with clay, anything is possible, and we hope you and your students embark on this wonderful exploration with joy and creativity.
