The Community School of the Arts recently hosted a weeklong ceramics workshop for 11 Clarksville Academy students.
Clarksville Academy’s Christine Lindsey and her students worked with Austin Peay State University Professor Wansoo Kim.

They worked every day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 3-7 during the academy’s Winterim, a special learning session at Clarksville Academy.
“On day one, they learned throwing on a potter’s wheel,” according to the Winterim webpage about the week. “Students made mugs, bowls and mushrooms for fairy gardens.”
The students who worked with Kim were:
