class he teaches to students in grades three through twelve is designed to
allow students to learn about ceramics and explore their creativity.
Student Cassandra Sanders, 19, of Richland has been involved in ceramics at
Richland High School for the last four years. The recent Richland High
School graduate likes the independence in the summer class.
Summer Sturges, 12, of West Richland is just starting to learn about pottery
