Field Trip to the Taubman and Link Museums

Mrs. Pfeiffer's classes spent a day downtown getting tours of the new Taubman Museum of Art and the O. Winston Link Photography Museum. They ate lunch in the Market Station and had a little time to take photos. It was a gorgeous day. Mrs. Carr's class will be doing the same field trip in a few weeks.

Another Potter Amazes Art Students





Steve Mitchell, a local potter who specializes in large pots that are each a piece of fine art visited us in late February. He brought one of his large pots, that was about 3' high and demoed how to build a large pot with separate cylinders. He talked a lot about wood firing, promoting his work and many of the wonderful potters he's met and worked with.
