In Albany Combining mugs, words, and wishes by Elizabeth Trail

ALBANY — Small hands worked busily and young faces frowned in concentration as children at the Albany Community School struggled to join seams and attach handles to the mugs they were making. In what’s becoming an annual highlight of the school year, North Wolcott potter Heather Stearns is teaching a clay workshop at the school for several days over a three-week period in January. Every child in the school is part of the project, and if this year is anything like the previous three, when it’s all done, there will be a party. This year, it’s all about combining mugs and words and wishes. “I like themes,” said eighth-grader Caroline Lowry. “It helps you make a decision about what you want to do.” This is Ms. Stearns’ fourth year doing workshops at the school. They are sponsored through a grant from the Vermont Arts Council. The first two years, the children made bowls, and followed up with a community meal, with parents invited to share homecooked meals and local food. Austin Smith (left) and Kaleb Colaceci put the finishing touches on their mugs. Photos by Elizabeth Trail The next year, they made plates. This year’s project is mugs. “We started by brainstorming wishes,” she There were a few wishes for money, and a “Mugs are special,” Ms. Stearns said. “We said. couple of boys wished for hunting success. have favorites.

Some of the wishes were personal, Ms. graceful winter branches. “We pour up a hot drink and offer it to Stearns said. A few were sad. “Sometimes when you’re down you just have to get yourself out of it,” the eighth-grader said. “Hope does that.” And in an elaborate design featuring a girl looking out across the world, Caroline Lowry wished almost the same thing. “Bring back the colors” are the words that Caroline incised around the rim of the mug. “When you’re sad, there’s no color in the world,” she said. “This is to remind me to think positive thoughts and not get trapped in negative thinking.” She said the girl on the mug is the same girl she put on an acrylic painting that she did recently. The two eighth-grade girls didn’t know ahead of time that they were making almost the same wish. Mugs are tricky to make. Seams have to be joined up tightly to prevent leaking. Handles have to be attached so they don’t break off. And both rim and handle need to feel good. “They need to be friendly to lips and hands,” Ms. Stearns said. Fortunately, over the past four years, the children have built up some pottery skills.
