at the pottery shop

In our nascent "Program Village," we have now built a pottery shop and a woodworking shop. These are being used as "specialty" activities for campers this summer, and during the school year for school groups and weekend visitors. Pottery had taken place in "old Arts & Crafts" even after the new Arts & Crafts room was built on ground floor of the Guenther Family Wellness Center; the old site served nicely for wet and dirty projects, including pottery. But now that Leadership Lodge, built to replace Pigeon Lodge after its demise at the hands of Hurricane Irene, has replaced old Arts & Crafts, we had no place for the messy arts. Thanks to David Landsberger, who gave us a grant to get start on this big project, we've built two of what will eventually be, we hope, six small cabin-sized shops. Two are done, as I say. And here was a visit, with Lakota, during a specialty period, to pottery. Watch and enjoy.
