Words and Photos from Sam M.
On our third expedition day of Clay and Glass Fusion, we marched upstairs to the Art Room where we were joined by Ms. Cecil who guided us through the process. of creating pottery without the use of a wheel. We started off our adventure by first glazing all our pieces that we made on our first expedition to the pottery studio. Once all the pieces were carefully glazed with love they would be left to dry for a few days and would soon be fired in a kiln to let the glaze completely melt onto our pieces.
Afterwards we were on a new mission of creating pinch pot animals to accompany pieces. During the process Ms. Cecil demonstrated to us how create pinch pots by forming a sphere and poking a hole in it while pinching the edges. Each of us were at liberty to craft our own creations and pieces even when above and beyond in delivering their creativity.
Soon after we finished our lunch break around noon, we embarked on yet another quest of created textured slabs and coiled pots. While these pieces may seem plain and simple with a little bit of imagination they were crafted into beautiful works of art.
I think today was a good day for all of us because it gave us a chance to test our creative spirits as well as a comfortable environment that let us talk to people we usually do not get to see in a normal school day.
