Start of a new year!

It is wonderful to be back in the classroom with the talented artists at Brandon Academy!

Ceramics students are preparing to fire their first big project, animal rattles! Students examined rattles created by Mexican artists for inspiration and then came up with their own unique, whimsical designs. We stuck two pinch pots together to form the body and then used a slip/score technique to apply the appendages, plumes, and more.
