Mountainside Pottery Students hasn't added a story.
Hello. My name is Whitney Daley and I am a ceramics teacher at Mountainside High School. I have been a potter for over 22 years and completed a degree in ceramics. I love to create ceramic art and am lucky enough to share my passion and knowledge with students each day. We would like to purchase a RAKU kiln for use with our ceramics classes. Our ceramics program includes as many real-world experiences as possible such as participating in art shows, scholarship opportunities, visiting artists and having students experience an alternative firing method called RAKU.
RAKU firing is inspired by an ancient Japanese firing method and allows students to see the entire firing process beginning to end. Students are able to see and create connections between concepts learned in chemistry, physics, math and art class. They are able to better understand the firing process and therefore improve their artworks. Variety in their understanding and exploration of the clay media allows students not only a better education, but also competitive edge in scholarship applications.
This kiln will be usable for many years to come with every student who selects to take ceramics classes. Additionally, students who are not in ceramics are able to observe the firing and see the science behind the art as well. We are asking for help purchasing this vital piece of equipment and are excited to have such a supportive community. Thank you for any help you can give and make sure to attend any student art exhibit in the community you can! Mountainside High Ceramics students and their RAKU artworks will certainly be there!
