Pottery Books

It takes more than just skill to transform a lump of clay into something of value-it takes creativity. "And one of the things I love about God is that He is a creative God," says potter David Blakeslee. From his studio nestled along the Arkansas River in Colorado, Blakeslee reflects on making pottery as a metaphor for how the Master Potter forms and transforms lives. Viewers will see Blakeslee shape, glaze, and fire ceramic works of art. Demonstrating God's workmanship in molding and shaping lives for His use, this engaging and insightful presentation helps viewers get a fresh perspective on God's creative power.

Sculpture Technique: Model from Artistic Pursuits offers upper-elementary to high school students the opportunity to discover their skill in sculpting! Building on the concepts taught in Sculpture Technique, CONSTRUCT (not-included and sold-separately), students will learn about the processes and concepts of modeling with putty, pottery, and fiber arts. More than a simple craft book, the assignments focus on the processes of working with specific materials while introducing the elements of sculpture in ways students can put into practice immediately. Students create original sculptures while selecting subject matter that is interesting and relevant to their own lives.

Unit Evaluation: Students complete an evaluation page to reflect on the element of sculpture, technical issues, and the subject of fine art as it relates to their completed projects within the unit. Answers are provided at the back of the book. This evaluation together with the completed sculptures provides a letter grade for each unit.
