Explore the possibilities
of creating beautiful
pottery on the wheel.
Intended for students
who have never used
the potter’s wheel, or for
those who are continuing
to build their basic skills,
this course will cover
methods of centering clay
and throwing bowl and
cylinder forms, such as
mugs and vases. Students
will also learn how to finish
their pots using standard
decorating and glazing
techniques.
This course will offer
a personal, hands-on
approach to creating
functional and/or
decorative clay pieces,
using both hand building
and wheel throwing
techniques that will be
glazed and kiln-fired.
Explore the fundamentals
of working with the clay,
necessary tools, surface
treatments, and glazing.
Possible project ideas
include cups, bowls, vases,
tiles, sculptures, the use
of molds and stamps, and
the use of found objects
to create texture. All levels
welcome.
This course draws upon
techniques and styles
developed by early PreColumbian and Native
American cultures for
daily or ceremonial use
that are still used today.
Students will discover
the Museum's impressive
range of Native American
pottery, a cornerstone of
MAM's collection. Hand
building of forms using
ancient techniques, slip
decoration, burnishing,
and making ware for a
smoke fire will be balanced

JUST ANOTHER GIRL ON THE IRT (1993)
February 18, 2015
Directed by Leslie Harris
Cast: Ariyan A. Johnson, Kevin Thigpen
USA/92 Min
As one of the first independent American films written,
directed, and produced by an African American woman,
Leslie Harris’ JUST ANOTHER GIRL ON THE IRT holds an
important place in film history. It also is a statement of
empowerment, defying cultural and social stereotypes
to present a wonderfully comic, moving time capsule of
early 1990s era New York City. THE CRUISE (1998)
March 4, 2015
Directed by Bennett Miller
Cast: Timothy “Speed” Levitch
USA/76 Min
Bennett Miller (CAPOTE, MONEYBALL, FOXCATCHER)
began his career as a filmmaker with THE CRUISE, a
documentary portrait of Timothy “Speed” Levitch.
Part NYC tour bus guide, part existential philosopher,
part tragicomic protagonist, Speed brings a unique
perspective to everything he sees, providing a
contemplative look at the relationship between the
individual and the big city.
JACKIE BROWN (1997)
March 18, 2015
Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Cast: Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro,
Robert Forster
USA/154 Min
Quentin Tarantino’s JACKIE BROWN is a pivotal film in the
career of perhaps the 1990s’ most famous independent
filmmaker; transitioning from the pulp violence of his
previous films, JACKIE BROWN signaled a newfound
maturity in the filmmaker. The story of a flight attendant
(Pam Grier) caught between her criminal boss (Samuel L.
Jackson) and the law (Robert Forester), JACKIE BROWN
is Tarantino’s richest film, a dazzling crime story with a
novelistic scope.

SAFE (1995)
April 1, 2015
Directed by Todd Haynes
Cast: Julianne Moore, Xander Berkley, Dean Norris
USA/119 Min
Widely considered one of the seminal films of the
1990s, Todd Haynes’ masterpiece SAFE is the story of
Carol White (Julianne Moore), a well-to-do suburban
housewife whose life is inexorably altered by the sudden,
inexplicable onset of an unnamed chemical sensitivity.
Echoing the era’s political and social treatment of
the quest for understanding during the AIDS crisis,
SAFE remains a searing experience for contemporary
audiences.

Garofalo
USA/99 Min
Generation X, the cohort born between the early 1960s
and 1980s, achieved its commercial, cinematic apotheosis
with REALITY BITES, the directorial debut from Ben
Stiller. The story of the ups and downs of a free spirited
young filmmaker named Lelaina (Winona Ryder), and
her yuppie (Stiller) and slacker (Ethan Hawke) suitors,
the film addresses the perspectives and concerns of Gen
Xers as they move from college into adulthood, resulting
in a movie that has come to uniquely define its cultural
moment. Yard School of Art | 14
