During the first two days of Winterim, students in Clay and Kiln practiced different pottery techniques by making items such as pinch pots, mugs, boxes and jars. Helping to lead the Clay and Kiln Winterim is potter Shana Brautigam, who teaches at the Rooted in Clay pottery studio.
To the right are pictures of some of the pots and bowls that students created on the first day.
Today (Wednesday), the group traveled to a professional pottery studio in Boston in order to see the techniques of pottery creation that are used by professionals.
Throughout the next two weeks students will work on creating pieces using pottery wheels and will also fire and glaze the pieces that they created previously during the Winterim period.
