Heather Nelson demonstrates to students how to place a “snake” on top of a “pancake.” After the clay dries it can be popped out of the mold and the bowls will be nearly as strong as thrown ones, she said.
Joan Austin elementary school students got their hands dirty to help Haitians last week. The dirty hands came via clay that came in neat little packages that were then cut into bricks, which teacher Heather Nelson taught her students to transform into bowls.
