As many teachers have found, teaching in a hybrid setting during Covid-19 has been extremely challenging. Moreover, in a hands-on class like ceramics, students are really limited to what they can do and make from home. My school was generous to offer small packets of supplies for students to pick up during the Fall semester. Packets included 5 pounds of plasticine (modeling) clay and a few clay tools. We have tried our best to work with this medium, but plasticine clay has created its own set of issues and challenges. Anyone who has ever used modeling clay in elementary school knows the medium is very soft and does not hold up a structure well. So much of what we usually do in the classroom is not possible with this medium. Not to mention, students do not get to keep any of their projects since the plasticine clay gets reused for every project. This semester, I plan to revert back to using a more traditional clay body for my students. With the addition of a pugmill in the classroom, I can alleviate some of the time and work I put into reclaiming clay and, instead, focus on the challenges of teaching in a hybrid format while managing student work pick-ups and drop-offs.
