Primitive Art Firing, No. 2
The pots are carefully removed from the fire pit Thursday morning and placed on a table nearby. The broken ones will be glued together and finished as well.
Kelvin Burzon, an art major, helps pull away the charred cow pies to reveal the pots.
This group of black pots did well in the fire pit. There was far less breakage, but a few cracks, than the two other firing pits.
Calisch holds a pot fresh from the fire pit that shows how the pottery will shine. This one hasn't even been cleaned and polished up yet!
The work was put on a table inside. Students will have a week to clean the pots up as part of their final project.
This and the next photo show the students' work one week later. The pots have been cleaned and polished and other finishing work to achieve the final result - and their final grade.
