What a year!

It has been quite a year! A new gas kiln, 2 new wheels, a new kiln courtyard, and AMAZING students. Thank you Tigard community for all of these good things going on at the Tigard High Ceramics Program. Soon the whole kiln project will have a "complete" stamp and we can start focusing on quality firings.  Peace!

NEWNESS!!!

 Sure, we all enjoyed break but you have to admit you missed ceramics. I know I did! We have some additions this year! A new gas kiln that is nearly operational and ready to fire. A whole new courtyard area to spray glaze, fire, and raku. And lastly a new ceramics 2 is in session for the first time. Stay tuned for more images of our progress throughout the year.
