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!

Tigard High's New Minnesota Flat Top!

DONE!!!

Featured student

Lauren is a second year student with a gift in expressive anthropomorphic sculptures. Here is one of her latest studies. 

Almost ready to fire!

Our kiln is built and almost ready to fire!

We only need:
-Gas Line (to be done by district soon)
-Shelter Installed
-Final Mechanical permit

Cross your finger and this could be done in 2 weeks!

Thanks!

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.

Our new 40cu ft Minnesota Flat Top designed by Nils Lou of Linfield College.

Have a great summer!

Hopefully when you come back there will be a kiln waiting for you!

Facebook has been blocked and we will resume back here!
