ACTIVITIES

Friday after school was the Lunar New Year celebration. The Peninsula Pottery showed up and had a table. They offered ceramic snakes for the year of the snake. They also had fortune cookies glazed in red and magnets of other animals from the zodiac. The snakes and all turned out positively and it was a positive experience for Matilda who hosted the table.

Otherwise, it’s been a mid-quarter grind with multiple loading of Kilns, firing of Kilns, unloading of Kilns. Student work has been fun to see, we have the typical breakdown of skill levels, and interest levels.

I’ve started promoting a Mug Club hosted by the Peninsula Pottery as a fundraiser. We will give graduation mugs as a thank-you gift for a donation. Mugs will be limited to a run of 50. As we navigate this inaugural fundraiser, we will learn what roadblocks we face. It will also be interesting to see how we move ahead.

I’ve also made progress on rocks as a glaze. Taking a rock and crushing then milling it into a fine powder. Check out the pictures of the process below.
