The potters have finished their first set of functional stoneware. Everyone will be taking their mugs home this week and they are food safe, dishwasher safe and microwavable! Please scroll through the gallery of images below and help us celebrate the students accomplishments. Wheel throwing is an extremely difficult skill to learn and takes hours of practice to make one artwork. Furthermore, the act of throwing an object is only one step in a line of processes needed to accomplish a project. There is a balancing act that consists of tooling a foot, possibly pulling and attaching handles or spouts, carving texture, throwing a lid, and, of course, decorating and glazing. To be a successful potter, you need to be able to juggle many things for one project to come together and these students put in countless hours to manage these tasks well, often after school. Are you interested in trying it?!?! We are hosting a parent night on November 17 from 6-8. You can sign up and throw with us. Limited to the first 15 parents to sign up with Poogs. Send an email to [email protected] with your name, your student's name and contact information. Email me with any questions and leave your comments below for the artist!

As my family and I were driving to the beach for a walk yesterday, we noticed three houses with rainbows in the windows and front doors. Made us all smile and wonder what we were missing.
Here is a link to the ARTicle explaining the global phenomenon! Also join the community in showing support for our healthcare workers and make a heart for your front door! My family and I are working to make our rainbows and hearts right now. Send me a picture of yours!! So many projects have been produced in term 3 and students are working hard. My favorite artworks unfolding currently are tea sets in the advanced classes. There is a lot of variation and innovation... stay tuned! And if you have Instagram, please follow us at hingham_pottery What a joy to help chaperone the Music Department's trip to LA. The few days were packed with non-stop art experiences. Here are just a few photos of the highlights. |
