As part of the Cape Cod Museum of Art's School-to-Careers Art Internship Program, Harwich High School art student, Laura Smith, interned with Sue Williams of Barn Hill Pottery in Chatham. Laura worked with Sue for eight weeeks in her ceramic studio. Laura's piece, currently on exhibit at the museum, is a fish themed fountain that she created as a result of Sue asking her to "think like a fish". Each fish was thrown on the wheel and then reshaped
.
Sue often offers employment at Barn Hill Pottery to her interns and hopes that she and Laura will continue their working relationship beyond the internship.
