Art Department – Pottery Club
Several summers ago, Clay Cunningham directed a summer project with the help of eight adult community potters and ten HS students. The end result was the construction of a Wood Kiln with all material purchased or donated by local vendors, with the exception of the brick. This group stacked over 3,000 high temperature bricks to create the floor, walls, and chimney. It takes two days to stoke the kiln with wood until is reaches the desired temperature, and three days to cool down. Because of the laborious and time-consuming nature of the firing process, the kiln is only fired twice a year – over Thanksgiving break and during the Summer Workshop in June. The pots in the kiln are not decorated with glaze, rather they are blushed with color from the flame and ash, resulting in each one-of-a-kind piece. Over 400 pieces can be fired at a time. This year New York artist Hong Ling Wee joined the group and demonstrated how she builds her large sculptures. The Pottery Club is underway and working on a large body of pots to fill the kiln at Thanksgiving. Mr. Cunningham invites you to stop by the kiln at the HS between Thanksgiving leftovers and see what his club is doing. You can purchase a unique piece of pottery at the Fall Craft Fair.
