Back from Spring Break!

I will be out of town 29-2 at the National Clay Show in Tampa, Florida. This is the first year that students will be going with me to the show! Very Exciting! We have three pieces on display at the National k12 Show in Tampa. Congratulations to Ashley Watlington and Jordan Pieper. The competition was quite fierce this year.

Students who are staying in Colorado should be working on series pieces. There will be a critique when I get back on Tuesday, April 4th. I will leave a sheet for each of you as to expectations. We will conference before I leave.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break! Seniors, not much longer!!!
