Students pick up their turkeys at pottery party

Turkeys were made by students in Lorraine Felix's Thanksgiving pottery class.

At the first class the turkeys were made by molding the clay around a balloon. The turkeys were fired prior to the second class when the glaze was applied. The students attended a "pottery party" on Monday to pick up their masterpieces.

Felix's December children's pottery classes, offered through Douglas County Parks & Recreation Department, are already filled, but she will offer more classes in the spring.
