Finding Pleasure in Arts and Craft any of us who took crafts for variety, a so-called easy A, or because a friend was in the class, discovered we had found something to do that we really enjoyed. Crafts helped our self-confidence, gave us something to have pride in and let us learn more about ourselves. Classes in Batik. Clay. Jewelry lvlaking, Weaving and Stitching were ottered to students who wanted to participate. People like Aracely Yula, Sherry Sherman and Kathy Copeland were skilled in making industrial jewelry and will probably use this as a future job Kathy Copeland says. lt's tiring and takes a lot of patience getting each carving lust right. but when you're finished and someone asked you where you got it and you can say you made it, well, it's a nice feeling. Katy Harrison worked on a spirit pot series which took patience and time. Working on the wheel. you must keep up an even rhythm or end up with a lumpy pot. Gayla Hudson weaved a set ot placemats. Ollie Bendon was into tigure drawing and Helen Harrison was a winner in the Texas Fine Arts Show with a portfolio ot her work in Ceramics and Sketching. lVlrs. Horne's class was commissioned to paint pictures for the collection at the Carruth Administration Building. Outside of school, art was around also.
