It's getting close to a decade that we've been visiting Dawn Soltysiak at her amazing studio in Michigan. Participating in an ancient pit-firing, holding a chicken, petting a llama, checking out a barn gallery, and taking a walk through apple orchards are just some of the highlights. These photos were taken by chaperone Liam O'Donnell. Thanks to Mr. O'Donnell, Ms. Fidalgo, Dawn, Chuck, and a great group of Lane students for making it another fantastic trip.
