Stepping Up to the Plate

Students like Emily McCarter (above), working with Roy Giesen), help seniors create dinner plates which will be personalized and kiln-fired in a Nov. 14 session at Peeler Art Center.

Putnam County senior citizens were invited to a plate-making workshop Thursday morning as part of the DePauw University class "Around the Table: Handmade Ceramics, Food and Conversation," which will culminate in a Dec. 5 meal at the Senior Center.

Meanwhile, student Jake Wosick shows off two plates he made with local resident Don Wall.
