Creating art makes you smart!
Marcia,
I made
up a schedule. There was a day to prep and wedge the clay(they needed at least
two balls of clay to throw, in case they messed up at first the could just take
it off and quickly put another one on without having to wedge it up.
They
rotated days on the wheel and days prepping clay. Prepping clay could also
include cleaning tools and area. Any way you look at it it is a mess.
Having another project (Handbuilt?) to work on helps. I even scheduled the ones
who had already thrown to be helpers to students on the
wheel.
I had
to teach a regular class of 30 students so could not always be on top of
them.
They
need extra time to clean up.
Reclaiming clay was also a good activity for time not on the wheel. There
is a need to have things, specific, for them to do.
Hope
this helps...email me if you have any questions
Sue
