Over winter break some changes took place in the ceramics and sculpture area. I set out to rearrange the portion of the studio with all of our potters wheels. Using scrap wood from the wood shop I constructed a long bench like table to fit between all of the potters wheels. The purpose of this is to help make class time more efficient. Students can now have multiple balls of clay in front of them and do not have to get up after each throwing attempt on the wheel to wedge more clay. It also helps make the space look a little more organized. Check out the before and after images.
We also ordered a new kiln over break which is now up and running. This will replace an older electric kiln that we have been having issues with.
