Description

One of the small details that often gets overlooked is whether or not to cover your art tables during art class. What type of placemats work best? Should the whole table should be covered in paper? Fabric? Maybe it doesn’t even matter? It took me a few years to figure out this placemat thing but when I did, it streamlined my prep and clean up substantially.

Today’s episode answers a question from the Deep Space Sparkle Facebook Group.

Katie asks, Does anyone have an inexpensive way to make clay mats? My budget for the year has been used up, so I’m looking for out-of-pocket affordable solutions. Any cheap and quick ideas?

I totally hear you, Katie!

This episode is for you an all the art teachers who are wondering:

- what type of placemats work best
