Put a young student on a pottery wheel and let the clay and good times roll! I have been teaching kids of all ages in the tri-state area for nearly 5 years. Teaching children is a great joy and poses different challenges & perks then working with adults.
A fair observation built on teaching hundreds of students - children & adults alike - is that as humans we often become more critical of ourselves and sadly, sometimes each other - taking it all too seriously. Our ability to jump in with free abandon wanes as the years roll by. Luckily, not the case with most 5 year olds!
I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to teach the arts & enjoy silliness all in the same moment. My young students are a great reminder of how we should approach life...energized with insatiable curiosity and spiritedness.......one moment at a time.
