Description
After hearing the remarkable story of an unique artist, participants will discuss the unique qualities of Dave's poetic form and his medium of poetry on pottery. Together students will explore the history and culture of the artist in order to develop an appreciation of our opportunities for expression. Then all can try their hand at creating their own brief poems and carving them into their own handcrafted pottery.

Students Will
  • Explore history through the story of an amazing potter and poet
  • Connect with history, art, and writing by creating poetry on pottery
  • Strengthen writing and cognitive skills through hands-on activity
  • Engage by listening to others share their unique poetry
