Yesterday I fired student made pots and a "commissioned" piece of pottery as
a demonstration for a local high school. The day was clear, cool,
energetic and it could not have been any better to be outside. As we raised
the kiln and started to pull pots there were Oooo's and Ahhhh's but I found
myself watching the student's faces as their pots came out of the fire and
they saw color for the first time. I am now a believer...if you have never
been involved with helping young people fire their pottery you have missed a
LARGE part of life! My "commission" for firing a pot for the school's
office was free coffee until I retire (which is soon)...I really got much
more than that! The point...share your knowledge and joy!
