Just finished working on some pages for a kids' art #zine we're making for upcoming community #Kwanzaa celebrations. Each child will be given a gift bag with zines, stickers, clay and other little art supplies. Last year, I just attended the celebration and this year I'm happy to be involved. I've never celebrated Kwanzaa in my home, but its a really good way to feel connected and grounded in positive ethics.

A green page with white handwritten text, decorated with red, black and green triangles. It contains steps 1-4 of making a clay bowl. There are four closeup photos of my hands performing each step. The text reads: take a small amount of clay and roll it between your palms to make a ball. Lightly pound the ball with your fist to flatten it into a "cookie."
A zine page. The background is green and the text is white and handwritten. The title reads "How to make a bowl from clay" laid over a photo closeup of my hands holding an unfired red clay bowl. Underneath it says Kuumba in Kwanzaa colors: red, green, black (and yellow.) Underneath the text reads: "Kwanzaa celebrates creativity, community and working with our hands, just like shaping a bowl from clay. When we make something ourselves, we honor the spirit of Kuumba--using our imagination to bring something good into the world. As you for your bowl think of it as a small piece of tradition: building, creating and sharing with others.
