Speaking of summer, I've got an exciting announcement!

Clay month part 1

I rarely show my students clay projects on here and that is a shame! It should be shown.  They are so fun for me to look at when they come out of the kiln.    Students are able to make what they want within the rules given.  The clay can only be as thick as a thumbs width.  

Here are the first batches that are done.  I will post the others later this week.
Enjoy!

 

What to build today?

Kiln is on and ready to fire!

This gets opened up in the morning when it is cool enough to touch.
