Classes are "drop off" and last 2 hours. Each class begins with a book and ends with one-of-a-kind, handmade, ceramic works of art! Each child will learn and experience various clay techniques of adding relief, texture, pattern, and the best part...they will add their own words to their visual art with stamps.<br /><br />Classes are scheduled as follows:<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>January 16<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span></strong></div><div align="center">Heart Stones . 10 am - 12 pm . $40 per child</div><div align="center">Love Plaque . 1 pm - 3 pm . $50 per child</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><strong>January 17<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span></strong></div><div align="center">Love Clock . 10 am - 12 pm . $70 per child</div><div align="center">Love Platter . 1 pm - 3 pm . $100 per child</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">For more info or to register your child for one of the above classes, contact me at <a href="mailto:mary@littlepumpkinpotter.com">mary@littlepumpkinpotter.com</a> or 775.745.2800.

We decided on a "tooth fairy" theme and I wanted to incorporate their words as well into their art. Dr. Molina is holding one of the pieces that a child created. Even after given the same instructions, each piece turned out different and unique and are on display in their offices located in Double Diamond. Thank you Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zeff</span> and Dr. Molina for letting me be a part of this year's art workshop!...I had so much fun! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">mary</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1976569774756732531-9022130985883096835?l=littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C_Dy-FcgSMM-zXp4-9i3FTNOins/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C_Dy-FcgSMM-zXp4-9i3FTNOins/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C_Dy-FcgSMM-zXp4-9i3FTNOins/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C_Dy-FcgSMM-zXp4-9i3FTNOins/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LittlePumpkinPotter/~4/PgFenHdG050" height="1" width="1"/>mb art studios...a creative space.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09378151963460891884noreply@blogger.com0http://littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com/2009/10/tooth-fairy-art.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976569774756732531.post-88491262760770908032009-09-30T11:37:00.000-07:002009-10-02T11:04:53.830-07:002009-10-02T11:04:53.830-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SsY_fp3JC3I/AAAAAAAAAZE/iA81iq8rb-E/s1600-h/035.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388063817241004914" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SsY_fp3JC3I/AAAAAAAAAZE/iA81iq8rb-E/s400/035.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SsY_e7Mg_RI/AAAAAAAAAY8/GXGrpzFUCIQ/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388063804714188050" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SsY_e7Mg_RI/AAAAAAAAAY8/GXGrpzFUCIQ/s400/002.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SsY_eSH9L9I/AAAAAAAAAY0/ZbO8L5jnEao/s1600-h/016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388063793689210834" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SsY_eSH9L9I/AAAAAAAAAY0/ZbO8L5jnEao/s400/016.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SsOnB2INr8I/AAAAAAAAAYs/iKCzMwb4oXc/s1600-h/030.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387333229416918978" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SsOnB2INr8I/AAAAAAAAAYs/iKCzMwb4oXc/s400/030.JPG" /></a><br /><div>The students created their final printing projects this week in my art classes. Since my last post, the young ones created some large (22x26) beautiful poppy prints using cardboard and their fingers and they also created a dot print with qtips and their hand. The older children created some yummy apple prints with foam and also a large (22x26), flower print with cardboard, their hands, and qtips. Next week, the children will move on to clay for the next 3 months!</div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1976569774756732531-8849126276077090803?l=littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/a0VTW2ZmEsVpH6yGd7wx_M_hwgs/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/a0VTW2ZmEsVpH6yGd7wx_M_hwgs/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/a0VTW2ZmEsVpH6yGd7wx_M_hwgs/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/a0VTW2ZmEsVpH6yGd7wx_M_hwgs/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LittlePumpkinPotter/~4/UdZWjykYtpQ" height="1" width="1"/>mb art studios...a creative space.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09378151963460891884noreply@blogger.com1http://littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com/2009/09/printmakingpart-2.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976569774756732531.post-12004508961690685552009-09-17T14:54:00.000-07:002009-09-30T11:46:07.172-07:002009-09-30T11:46:07.172-07:00<div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyXa9qEPI/AAAAAAAAAYk/dyfsw0Fya58/s1600-h/050.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382560620105830642" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyXa9qEPI/AAAAAAAAAYk/dyfsw0Fya58/s400/050.JPG" /></a> Caitlyn, Age 5<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyWgcl3DI/AAAAAAAAAYc/8PPdmx7Jl0k/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382560604397886514" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyWgcl3DI/AAAAAAAAAYc/8PPdmx7Jl0k/s400/004.JPG" /></a> Ben, Age 7<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyV9dyrxI/AAAAAAAAAYU/P1NA6SvxuiA/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382560595007680274" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyV9dyrxI/AAAAAAAAAYU/P1NA6SvxuiA/s400/013.JPG" /></a><br />Lily, Age 4<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyVII4ZeI/AAAAAAAAAYM/r17GkcEzfIU/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382560580692895202" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyVII4ZeI/AAAAAAAAAYM/r17GkcEzfIU/s400/006.JPG" /></a>Eli, Age 3<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyUSxEk5I/AAAAAAAAAYE/pqp2P9phQb8/s1600-h/045.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382560566365950866" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SrKyUSxEk5I/AAAAAAAAAYE/pqp2P9phQb8/s400/045.JPG" /></a>Cole, Age 3<br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">I'm three weeks into classes and have had so much fun printmaking with my students.

Here's a peek at a custom order that I started for my Mom's friend. It's a clock with a big heart, button impressions and is stamped with, "The mind determines what's possible.

I'll be sure to post photos of them as soon as they come out of the kiln... </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1976569774756732531-2338989747300243649?l=littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/O4h0mKmkKXaETgIFjSaFKZ_BdVA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/O4h0mKmkKXaETgIFjSaFKZ_BdVA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/O4h0mKmkKXaETgIFjSaFKZ_BdVA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/O4h0mKmkKXaETgIFjSaFKZ_BdVA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LittlePumpkinPotter/~4/-jh1rW2LvwA" height="1" width="1"/>mb art studios...a creative space.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09378151963460891884noreply@blogger.com2http://littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com/2009/07/last-week-of-art-camp.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976569774756732531.post-35123311657775459442009-07-24T09:08:00.001-07:002009-07-30T07:22:01.510-07:002009-07-30T07:22:01.510-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne1rtwSuI/AAAAAAAAAUw/MI1Il6tQGf8/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362061845210352354" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne1rtwSuI/AAAAAAAAAUw/MI1Il6tQGf8/s320/009.JPG" /></a> <div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362061838953544962" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne1UaA_QI/AAAAAAAAAUo/sCRqCyRHyU0/s320/017.JPG" /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne05PPwcI/AAAAAAAAAUg/PluSiX7VbvI/s1600-h/025.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362061831660618178" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne05PPwcI/AAAAAAAAAUg/PluSiX7VbvI/s320/025.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne0RdOUHI/AAAAAAAAAUY/GqDTGc7GfWA/s1600-h/032.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362061820981825650" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne0RdOUHI/AAAAAAAAAUY/GqDTGc7GfWA/s320/032.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne0KaNX4I/AAAAAAAAAUQ/NrjlEDpuEwE/s1600-h/036.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362061819090132866" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Smne0KaNX4I/AAAAAAAAAUQ/NrjlEDpuEwE/s320/036.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Here is a peek at a few of the clay and print pieces from my flowers, birds, and Picasso art camps...simply delicious! The clay cookie jars from my Picasso class are still drying...they are quite large. Next week is the last week of art camp for the summer and I will have the month of August off to recharge and get inspired for the coming school year's art classes. </div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1976569774756732531-3512331165777545944?l=littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C-eLonkuSGTCM0VVJB65q3Q4-S0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C-eLonkuSGTCM0VVJB65q3Q4-S0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C-eLonkuSGTCM0VVJB65q3Q4-S0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/C-eLonkuSGTCM0VVJB65q3Q4-S0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LittlePumpkinPotter/~4/-OgYm_doHJ0" height="1" width="1"/>mb art studios...a creative space.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09378151963460891884noreply@blogger.com3http://littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com/2009/07/okeeffe-picasso-and-birdies-would-be.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976569774756732531.post-65169226296327773012009-07-14T08:36:00.000-07:002009-07-14T08:43:09.094-07:002009-07-14T08:43:09.094-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Slym4DQTg2I/AAAAAAAAAUI/Ue0dVQ7A6Jw/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358341138540626786" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/Slym4DQTg2I/AAAAAAAAAUI/Ue0dVQ7A6Jw/s400/009.JPG" /></a><br /><p>"Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1976569774756732531-6516922629632777301?l=littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/x8iv07PArrAk6jUSnUyac6XHKG8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/x8iv07PArrAk6jUSnUyac6XHKG8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/x8iv07PArrAk6jUSnUyac6XHKG8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/x8iv07PArrAk6jUSnUyac6XHKG8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LittlePumpkinPotter/~4/jt1o15TNsGw" height="1" width="1"/>mb art studios...a creative space.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09378151963460891884noreply@blogger.com3http://littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com/2009/07/parenting.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976569774756732531.post-80005631447051274262009-07-10T07:03:00.000-07:002009-07-10T07:12:14.076-07:002009-07-10T07:12:14.076-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SldLZbwRo-I/AAAAAAAAAUA/GaYx6YqUytQ/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356833182099547106" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SldLZbwRo-I/AAAAAAAAAUA/GaYx6YqUytQ/s400/001.JPG" /></a><br /><div> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SldLY68ClYI/AAAAAAAAAT4/5Xb-CKO2K0M/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356833173290521986" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_paGrxqIw3iY/SldLY68ClYI/AAAAAAAAAT4/5Xb-CKO2K0M/s400/013.JPG" /></a><br /><div>I tried "gardening by the square foot" this year and I am amazed with the results. Pumpkins, beans, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">zucchini</span> are all traveling up the trellis...a few friends have been surprised that it's possible to have them climb. I also tried out <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">tomatillos</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">broccoli</span>, and eggplant for the first time. This is so good for my kiddos to see...many of the veggies were started by seed and I also picked up many seedlings from Whole Foods. Here's to eating healthy, organic, and local produce!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1976569774756732531-8000563144705127426?l=littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sTtTfUTWxNDLZOshVzAG2zMn9ww/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sTtTfUTWxNDLZOshVzAG2zMn9ww/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sTtTfUTWxNDLZOshVzAG2zMn9ww/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/sTtTfUTWxNDLZOshVzAG2zMn9ww/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LittlePumpkinPotter/~4/dmZkviOzCtY" height="1" width="1"/>mb art studios...a creative space.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09378151963460891884noreply@blogger.com4http://littlepumpkinpotter.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-thumb-is-getting-greener.html
