I taught elementary school art for 30 years and we made a lot of pinch pots. Any day I told the kids we were doing clay there was much rejoicing. But fifth grade got to turn their pinch pots over and make the head of an animal or monster. I kept some of my demonstration models. They are a record of my teaching career. I can still remember the day when I made the pig or the chicken.
​I am not a fan of whimsical or folk art, yet my work seems to border on both. I initially planned on just putting the clay heads in a shadow box but decided that the front of each compartment should show what the animal inside would eat, a connection that was both whimsical and folky. The final box shows baby toes on the outside and a monster to nipple them inside.
