    On Monday, March 6 Illinois Valley Community College art instructor Karen Zeilman instructed at a ceramics workshop at Minonk City Hall for the Minonk Successful Farmers 4-H club.
    Zeilman gave a demonstration of the mask making activity, and showed examples of her work. The mask project is part of her Ceramics I curriculum.
    Zeilman explained that she designed the mask making project to showcase the talents of her students so a more dimensional mask could be made.
    She also stated that mask making is a “wonderful way to express different emotions and release stress.”
    The 4-H member’s masks were quite diverse as some made their masks to show human emotion, while others made theirs into animals.
    The club members will be showing their masks as a visual art project at the Woodford County Fair in July.
