Calamity Becomes Closure

The kids glazed these flat "cracker" beads today...

My class is making three large sculpture poles composed of assorted beads. This afternoon, I brought everything home, and started to clean and prep for firing a kiln load tonight. This morning, several fifth graders came into my classroom, before school, and started complaining that they didn't get to do a project like this last year. One student said, "Yeah, you didn't do anything with us." I almost choked on my tea. We worked on so many ceramic projects last year, that it felt like my kiln hardly had a chance to cool down. Anyway, all fifth grader bitterness aside, I hope we make our deadline to enter "Sculpture Is", which is a show hosted by Sierra Azul Nursery and the Pajaro Valley Arts Council. The deadline is looming large! Can't wait to have my kitchen back for actual dining.


I'm finishing the base beads...
Touching up and sponging the kid glazed "onion rings"...
So much to do...
The kiln has a full load for the first glaze firing...
Now, more room for my entries...
