Clay and Recovery
The Community Arts at Baltimore Clayworks has begun clay programming with residents at the Tuerk House, a facility in west Baltimore that exists to empower suffering addicts and alcoholics in abstinence-based recovery. This long-term clay programming will be a consistent and significant aspect of recovery.
Creative Aging 2010
The MetLife Foundation is funding Baltimore Clayworks Community Arts for its second Creative Aging program! The senior adults of the Pimlico Road satellite continue their advanced ceramics programming while Community Arts expands older adult programming through the new partnership with the Jubilee Arts Center. Pimlico Road seniors adept at working with clay will mentor those older adults at Jubliee Arts who are new to the medium. Seniors from both organizations will have the opportunity to connect with clay and with each other, improving their quality of life and strengthening the community.
Justin Rothshank, Trish Kyner and Herb Massie are the visiting artists who will be working with the seniors along with the teaching community artists, sharing their specialized techniques with the senior participants. http://nationalguild.org/programs/creativeaging.htm
The MetLife Foundation Creative Aging Program is funded by MetLife Foundation and administered by the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts.
