Exeter-Milligan School Update - High School Art


E-M Art Happenings by Jill Shipley

One of the Exeter-Milligan Art I classes is starting to
work with clay this week. They have gone over the art terms
that have to do with pottery and are now putting those into
practice.

The first pot they make is called a coil pot. They
construct the pot out of clay coils and blend one side.
When they are done we will let them dry and then fire them
in the new kiln, provided by the Exeter-Milligan Boosters
this summer.

The students will then get to glaze them with different
colors to give them a colorful glass coating. We will have
to fire them again in the kiln and they should look great.
