Pottery Badge

Hey everyone,

I'm setting up an activity for the girls to complete the pottery badge.  It will involve having a professional potter come in and teach the girls.  They will get to make a piece of pottery, glaze it, and then have it fired.  She suggested that they could make traditional bowls, to correspond with their study of indigenous people at schooo.  I think this experience is worthwhile, and will be popular.

My only hesitation is that the class costs $20/session/girl.  We will pay for one session out of our dues money.  But, I'd thought having two sessions would be beneficial, since our girls sometimes have a hard time completing something that complex in one session.

I wonder if anyone has comments on the following -
Should we a) do one session, for $20/girl, or b) do two sessions for $40/girl.  At the two session rate we'd be spending all of our dues money, so we'd probably want to ask for additional funds.  There may be an option c) do one session but expand our ending time for that meeting to 6pm.

Any commentary, suggestions, etc, are welcome.

  1. I haven't been keeping up - if we had two sessions (i think the girls may have done two). let me know and I'll kick down the funds.
