A grand windup to the fall semester. Maybe it's because potters make pieces for serving food - it is really easy to get a pot luck event going here!
Beside gorging ourselves on delicious food, we did four raku firings to end the semester. In general most of us were pleased with the results. Ye Olde Photographer recorded some of the activities and also some student work that caught his eye, the latter mostly high fired stoneware.
