Weeks of May 14, 21 & 28, 2012

CERAMICS I– For the remainder of the year, the students will be completing the surface of two bisque fired projects…their Mandalas and their Initial Sculptures. After base-coating their projects with black or white acrylic paint, they will use the remaining time to finish their pieces with a variety of colored acrylic paints and mixed media additions. Each project is unique and involves many choices, focus and skills to bring it to life. Completed pieces will be varnished to protect the surface and add shine and durability. All projects must be complete by Wednesday, May 30.

I look forward to seeing many of my 1st year students return next year to take on the artistic challenges of Ceramics II!!

Good Luck to all the Seniors as they move on with their lives to the challenges ahead!!

CERAMICS III– For the remainder of the year, the students will be completing the surface of their last bisque fired project…Mirror Frames. After base-coating their projects with black or white acrylic paint, they will use the remaining time to finish their pieces with a variety of colored acrylic paints and mixed media additions. They will affix a circular mirror to the back to create a beautiful decorative piece that is also functional! Each project is unique and involves many choices, focus and skills to bring it to life. Completed pieces will be varnished to protect the surface and add shine and durability. All projects must be complete by Wednesday, May 30.

I will surely miss these students that I have been privileged to share 3 years of creativity with! Best wishes as you move into the future and the rest of your lives!!!!
