CREATIVE FUN FOR EVERYONE! And Education too!
Local Paint Your Own Pottery Studio offers projects that meet education curriculum
requirements
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-You Made It! llc Paint Your Own Pottery Studio in
Harrisonburg, has announced a new educational curriculum designed specifically for
homeschool groups. These projects were developed by KS Kids, a nationally recognized
education curriculum consultant group. Using their motto “Putting the Art back into
Learning”, KS Kids have developed curriculums specifically for paint your own pottery
studios.
“We are always excited when homeschool groups come to our studio. Now we can
provide valuable art education to homeschool groups that might otherwise struggle to
meet these specific curriculum requirements.” Said David Miller, co-owner of You Made
It! llc Paint Your Own Pottery.
You Made It! llc Paint Your Own Pottery regularly schedules studio days for homeschool
groups, from preschool on up. All group education projects are $12 per child. After the
project is completed, You Made It! llc Paint Your Own Pottery glazes and fires it,
returning back a washable and food safe piece in one week.
A study by the Craft and Hobby Association which surveyed 76 teachers and over 1,500
students across America showed some key findings which included:
 Students who spend a greater proportion of their learning time engaged in handson projects scored significantly higher on writing and drawing knowledge
application tasks.
 The creativity and level of detail students demonstrated on the tasks also indicated
that the hands-on projects left many students with vivid and lasting understanding
of both facts and concepts.
 Student behavior and socialization skills improve when hands-on craft projects
are undertaken
 82% of teachers surveys said that handcrafted projects help their students apply
information in new or different situations
“It’s great to read about a study that says what we’ve known for a long time” says Joan
Clasbey, co-owner of You Made It! llc Paint Your Own Pottery.
