Use of the online site can be purchased for use
with your students if you have Internet access.Currently on-line for free
are Units 1, 2 and parts of 3.
Units 1 and 2 are short units compared to the others, but they are a good
example of what comes with the purchase of the site. Access to the whole
site can be purchased for one year for $25, normally $45. This helps me to
cover the costs of upkeep.
$45 or more value. Now, only $25.

VALUE OF SITE
Using this site
with your students saves a lot of school dollars as you do not have to buy
a text. Personally, I found that the texts were usually not very
interesting reading for students and were not very practical in ceramics
class as students always had dirty hands and usually got clay all over the
pages of the book. This site started out as an effort to solve those
problems. The extra budget money (not spent on more texts) can go to
supplies or more resource books for your classroom library. Handouts can
be printed out and given to students and thrown away if too dirty to keep.
And my activities have always engaged the students more than the books
did.
So there you go: cheaper, more convenient and more interesting to students! These units contain the basics of handbuilding
with clay. You will have use to the site for at least a year.
Thanks in advance.
You will be getting great value for your money.
