EXI:FI~IT A
Boxwood 2000 Ceramic Program
Dear Ms. Das:
The following program is applicable to 50 children of low income criteria in the Boxwood area
children of ail ages can participate and enjoy the following programs.
The cost per child is $10.00 a class, our regular cost for these programs would be $13.00 to
$15.00 a class. Each child will attend approximately 10 1-1/2 to 2 hour classes. In these classes
children will learn freehand clay work, throwing on pottery wheels and freehand construction.
Children will also learn techniques in finishing their creations in stains and glazes. They will be
taught a variety of techniques in both construction and finish.
The following classes will allow the children individualized freedom and independence to express
themselves.
A) Freehand Construction-- they will be using both coil and slab techniques, sculpting and
learning about different types of clays, glazes and firings.
B) Pottery Wheel--they will have the opportunity to throw a bowl, vase, cup etc, they will learn
how to finish their piece through clay additions and a variety of glaze techniques.
C) Casted Ware--the children were given a number of casted pieces they have already cleaned and
prepared for firing, these pieces have already been fired the first time. They will use a number of
different types of stains or glazes depending on their imagination to finish their art.
Children can enter their creations in the August competition at the International Ceramic
Association convention in Milwaukee, they will have the opportunity to win awards.
The above programs are already in existence and have been for the past three years. There are
approximately 50 children from the Boxwood area who will utilize this program before the end of
the 2000 year.
Programs are:
Wednesday: 3:45 to 5:15 .......... children 6 to 11 years old.
Wednesday: 7:00 to 8:30/9:00~...children 12 to 16 years old~
Saturday: 10:00 to 11:30 ............ children 6 to I 1 years old.
The program days and times will change in the summer when school is out.
50 Children per each child in Program at $10.00 a class for 10 classes.....$5,000.00
35 Children per each child in Program at $10.00 a class for 10 classes.....$3,500.00
Misty, I believe the funding allocated for the year 2000 was $3500.00 so the b'dling for the year
2000 will be $3500.00 regardless of the number of children who pa~icipate or the number of
times they come to cl~ss~ which will exceed 10 classes in most cases.
If you need any other information regarding the above classes, please call.
Sincerely,
Diarme Kovack
