On the day our portfolios were finished, we went on a celebration fieldtrip to Galena to do a wood firing and a salt firing. We had SOOOOOOOO much fun camping for the weekend and stoking the kiln all night. Students made incredible food....Yum. Thanks for the tamales Aurora & family...We had great chaperones, too. Thanks to Mr. Couty, Mr. O'Carroll, Ms. Melendez, and Ms. Arter. They not only supervised so we could take the trip, but they brought art activities, stories, and camping expertise.
Jay Strommen led the workshop and he was a wealth of information and insights about art, ceramics, and firing. We plan to go there every year!!! The kiln will be cooled this weekend; we can't wait to see the work.
