Monster clay pieces inspired by James DeRosso and Chris Paulsen

We are making monsters. Our inspiration is an Oregon artist called James deRosso. Students can make sculptures or utilitarian pieces such as flower/plant pot, mug, cup to hold toothbrushes, cookie jar, etc.

James deRosso's website is at
http://www.monster8all.com/
He was on OPB Art Beat at http://www.opb.org/artsandlife/article/ceramicist-james-derosso-is-not-afraid-of-monsters/
