This class is for beginning and returning pottery wheel students. Students will be guided in wheel throwing techniques with the goal of making functional pieces for use in their homes and spaces. They will be encouraged to bring their own ideas to the classroom and will be given exciting demos. While this is primarily a hands-on class, students will also be keeping a pottery notebook in which they will be encouraged to write notes, journal and sketch throughout the week. Students will also receive instruction in basic terminology of the ceramics studio pertaining to clay body, stages of clay becoming ceramics and the many curious and helpful tools potters use to create their own signature style. Teaching through lecture, note taking, demonstration, and 1:1 instruction will all be explored in our studio.
Requirements:
All supplies, consumable and shared are provided with the supply fee for this class. This class is a good fit for students who work well in a multi-sensory environment as the studio is alive with sights, smells and sounds, sometimes simultaneously; all while having their hands in lots of clay and water.

Practical Psychology introduces the student to basic psychological and counseling tools and concepts that are most likely to impact the student in their real, day-to-day life. Concepts covered include a brief overview of the field of psychology, and the benefits of considering the inner workings of soul, mind, emotion, and memory.
Students will be introduced to common self-reflection tools such as the Genogram, the Ecogram, the Enneagram, mindfulness and interoception, and will be given opportunity to reflect on select aspects of their personal story. A goal of these discussions is to introduce students to daily practices of pausing, reflecting, and cultivating a balance between self-awareness and self-obsession.
Further discussions will explore current major issues in the mental health field. Students will be introduced to Family Systems and Internal Family Systems, genetics and epigenetics, mirror neurons and attachment science. Other discussions will explore major diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, ADHD, Bipolar, and Schizophrenia. These discussions will discuss the diagnoses from a third party perspective, exploring what a given diagnosis does and does not mean. Students will be offered exposure to brief and initial screening measures, but will be cautioned against self-diagnosis.
Students will also be offered information about the counseling industry, and information on how to access and navigate resources. For example, students will be taught the difference between pastoral and professional counsel, and within the professional world, the difference between a counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker, and the difference between counseling and “Rehab.”
Requirements:
Students should be at least 13 years old.
Given the nature of these discussions, a certain level of maturity and prior education is assumed. Topics such as sex and pornography, drugs and alcohol, suicide and self-harm, trauma, and abuse may be periodically mentioned at relevant intervals throughout the class. Mention of these topics will be meant to equip students with language to contemplate real-world application of psychological concepts.
God made our bodies to move and our hearts to praise! In this energetic children will jump, stretch, dance, and groove to worship songs that teach Bible truths. Through fun fitness games, rhythm instruments, and joyful expression, kids will learn that staying active can be an act of worship.
