Book Reviews of The Kids 'N' Clay Ceramics Book

Book Review: Jeannie Cole is wrong - and being vitriolic!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have witnessed what happens at the Kids 'N' Clay Studio, first hand. She is underestimating the abilities of children! Kids from 6 to 16, with instructor supervision, not only center their clay (as shown in the book) but create magnificent pieces.

Nothing that is shown in the book is fabricated, I have seen it first-hand! I don't know what Ms. Cole's agenda is (to sell the coming book, listed in her profile, instead of validating the Kids 'N' Clay book perhaps?), but she is off the mark in saying that kids cannot do everything that is shown in the book. Just ask the 200+ kids that are currently enrolled in Kids 'N' Clay / Berkeley (or, the thousands of alumni!!!).

This book is an inspiration to help children develop, both creatively and helping their maturation process. Discounting the myth that children cannot center and throw clay is solely based on the systems that perpetrates the apprentice system and holds back talented people!

Be it known that Ms. Cole has sent several spiteful, threatening and vitriolic emails to Mr. Nierman in the last few days with no obvious purpose than to try and build herself up at the expense of Mr. Nierman's proven reputation.

Summary of The Kids 'N' Clay Ceramics Book

It's a fact: most kids love mucking around with clay. And the spread of glaze-it-yourself pottery shops 'round the country has made it easy for young artists to fan the flames of their creativity in the fire of a kiln. Now, any child can find creative fulfillment -- and gloriously messy hands -- in these step-by-step, illustrated pages. Readers will learn how to set up a ceramics studio, make cool gifts and family heirlooms, and fashion their wildest dreams from a simple lump of clay. Includes ceramic techniques, tools customized for young beginners and projects for home or school. 2000 Parents' Choice Recommended Book 2000 Parent's Guide to Children's Media Award
