Here are some quick pics snapped during prep for last Monday’s firing at Bennett! Thank you to Julia, Zhaozhao, Derrick, and Emma for coming with me to Pewabic and glazing the pots ahead of time. If we waited to do this until just before the firing, the pots probably would have blown up, so doing this in advance was a necessary step. Unfortunately we didn’t come up with a great way for the kids to do this part, but I think that’s just the nature of putting on an event like the one we did for the first time (rather, I’ve never organized a pottery building/firing workshop before, so this was a learning experience for all of us). However, the kids were able to learn more about glazing during the firing on Monday. Keep scrollin 2 see how the pots came out during the firing.Â
