She has taught pottery in juvenile detention centers. “Here you make a mud pie you can save and use or give as a gift...” Stacy Baer, ceramicist “Many of them came from troubled backgrounds, and I spend time to work with them to provide an outlet for their energies, whether it was positive or negative. Everyone needs an outlet and art is a beautiful one,” Baer told The Park Record. The artist also has introduced ceramics to people with special needs and Alzheimer’s patients. “They are in a place where they don’t have the (social) boundaries that we have,” Baer said. “No one has really told them that they are too old to play, and the pieces of art that they make always bring tears to my eyes.” Baer wants to introduce more people to ceramics and some fine local wines, so she has partnered with the DeJoria Center for the first Clay and Cabernet session that will be held from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 11, at the DeJoria Center, 970 N. S.R. 32. The cost is $100 and participants must be at least 21 years old. To register, visit www.dejoriacenter.com. “The idea is a twist on what people call ‘paint and sip,’” Baer said. “Instead of painting, we’ll do ceramics.” The class won’t use a throwing wheel, like the one in the iconic love scene in the movie “Ghost,” Baer explained. “We won’t act like Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore,” Baer said laughing. “We’ll hand-build the items. And let me say, there are so many beautiful pieces that are done by hand building.” The pieces will also have function. “We’ll make serving platters, casserole dishes and coffee mugs, things like that,” Baer said. The class is open to all levels of artists, especially those who have never taken an art class. “If you can follow the bouncing ball (as in a sing-along), which is me, you will be able to do this,” Baer promised. “You just need to listen to what I say and let your imagination run wild.” Baer will provide all supplies. “Everyone will get a slab that they Please see Baer, C-4 PHOTOS COURTESY OF STACY BAER Ceramicist Stacy Baer will share her two loves -- ceramics and wine -- during Clay and Cabernet on Thursday at the DeJoria center.
