Introduction

Hi everyone,

My name is Madison Mayhew and I am going into my sophomore year at Uarts. I am a sculpture major and am trying to figure out whether or not I want a minor in art therapy. My alumni-host is Abbie Kasoff. She is the founder of Say It With Clay, which is a clay therapy organization. The organization is a non-profit that works with children, adults, people with disabilities, marriage counseling and hold many different fun camps and classes. 

This summer I will have the opportunity to work at Say It With Clay two days a week and will get to assist during the children’s summer camp as well as have the opportunity to go on field work with different staff members. While there I will get to understand one of the areas that a art therapist can work. I will also begin to understand exactly what art therapists do. 

Im really excited to just be surrounded by different artists who are just looking to help people. I think that this will really help me grow and begin to understand what it is that I want to do in the future.

P.S. Im allowed to use the clay studio and all of the supplies for free! I’m really excited.
