Recreating Classical Form

On May 1 and May 22, 2002, Ann Arbor ceramic artist, Kay Yourist, presented pottery workshops for consumers of the Washtenaw County Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled entitled, "Recreating Classical Form." These workshops were made possible through a grant sponsored by ArtServe Michigan in conjunction with the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs.

Workshop participants were delighted with the hands-on pottery making experience.

At the conclusion of the two workshops, pots were taken to Yourist Pottery Studio where they were glazed and fired. An artist reception at Yourist Pottery Studio was held on June 19, 2002. Workshop participants had an opportunity to see their works displayed. The display was then moved to the Washtenaw County Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled.
