Ceramics grew from a old ladies hobby (The Mud Hen's Days) to an activity that the whole family could enjoy together. With the successful introduction of easy to use non-fired acrylics in the late 70's, more and more families began to take part in family ceramic nights. Much like the Family Game Nights, where older siblings or relatives took the younger ones in under their wings and helped tutor them in understanding what they were doing.
In today's culture it is even more difficult to find times to connect as a family. Ceramics can add a new dimension to this, and help bring families "back to the table" so to speak. In fact games can be a ceramic focal point. Why not create a family chess game, or special variant like 3 player chess, Stratego or some other games all made by the hands of the family. What fun . . .what connection. An almost limitless variety of bisque exists between local retailers and on line merchants.
