Peppi Melick (Imagination in Clay)

About the Artist

An Oregon native, Peppi studied at SOSC and U of O and has attended numerous workshops and adult education courses in pottery. She has been involved in making and selling pottery as a business since 1975. Teaching pottery to adults and children as well as people with disabilities has been and important part of her life since 1980. I have experienced in all aspects of clay work: throwing, hand-building, glazing and firing.

Grade Levels

K - 6

Teaching Objectives

I am available for traditional residencies of 1, 2, or 3 weeks, as well as flexible scheduling such as 1 day a week. A very workable schedule is Mon. thru Thurs. Of one week for clay work, then Friday of the next week for glaze and finish.

Staff Development

I offer teacher in-service in kiln firing before the residency and/or a longer teacher in-service in clay work for the fun of it after my residency with the kids is over.

Home Stays

Not required in Douglas County.
