The kiln building class, led by Marshall and Joe, fired off the kiln the group had been working on this semester. The firing was about 60 hours total. It was a great experience and a good reason to keep warm!

Here are some pictures from it! First picture was the late evening loading/firing crew and then followed by pictures of what were in the two chambers of the kiln.

Meet our second year ceramics grad Natalia Meléndez Rosa (.melendez). Growing up in Puerto Rico, Natalia was surrounded by iron-rich clay her whole life. The terracotta-colored landscape became an intrinsic part of her identity. By juxtaposing European Christian art, and the ongoing struggles of growing up in a colony, her art serves as a poignant reminder of the imposition of Spanish and American rule and the erausre of Borikén history.

The Interdisciplinary Ceramic Research Center (ICRC) is a laboratory for individuals and teams across disciplines to experiment with traditional and cutting-edge approaches to the manipulation of clay. In recent years we have seen renewed interest in the potential of ceramics among architects, designers, engineers and artists outside of the traditional ceramic arts. The Center provides interested parties with the opportunity to explore their research with access to specialized equipment in a collaborative work environment.
