Woodfire Kiln- Apr 15 - 17

The Department of Art will be using its low- emission, wood-fired kiln on campus Tuesday, April 15, through Thursday, April 17. This kiln facilitates a wood-fired process that allows students to create unique effects on ceramic pieces by letting the wood ash melt onto the ceramic ware, as well as allowing flames to pass through the work.
