Cookies in Clay

Bring your favorite cookie cutters (or just use ours) and let’s “bake” up some keepsake holiday ornaments in stoneware! You’ll roll out clay, cut your shapes, and add texture, stamps, names, or dates. Then we glaze them and fire them in the kiln. Unlike the real cookies, these will still be around next December. No experience needed, and the stoneware won’t care if your gingerbread man ends up a little lopsided. They make great gifts for grandparents and teachers, or for your own tree.

Ornaments ready for pickup after firing.

Growing up in Northern Colorado enjoying hunting, fishing, and all things related to wide open spaces, Cristy Anspach earned a BA in Art Education and another in Painting, then came to Wyoming to teach art in public schools in 1991. As the art teacher at Pinedale Elementary for the last 20 years, she’s enjoyed encouraging and facilitating creativity and artistic growth among hundreds of Pinedale’s youth. Cristy recently completed a MA in Art Education and has been shifting to a more choice-based and student-led way of thinking about art education. Maintaining an active studio practice in painting, sculpture, fibers and clay, while helping and encouraging others through the challenges and satisfactions of being a maker are the driving forces that guide Cristy’s intent.
