Glazing Demonstration - Monday, Oct 13th, 8:00-9:00am

Since we had to cancel our Clay Docent Workshop on the 9th, we have scheduled at glazing demonstration for Monday, October 13th, 8:00-9:00am in the Science Lab.

This is for the volunteers who are new to Clay Docent and have a glazing lesson before our next workshop on November 13th. 

This is a demonstration only since we only can get the Science Lab for one hour.  We can also answer any questions you may have. 

The Kiln is Firing

The electrician has serviced the kiln, so we're back in business!

We successfully ran our test firing and now have started firing the class pieces.

The Kiln is Sick :(

If you have been in the kiln room the last couple of weeks and noticed that we have yet to fire any pieces and the overcrowding of the drying racks, the reason is the kiln is in need of servicing.

Last week when we attempted to perform our test firing of the kiln, we got a "FAIL" error!!!  This error indicates that the thermo-coupler needs to be replaced.  Every couple of years we have to replace the thermo-coupler and it was due.  We have opened a service order with the school district to get the district's electrician to come out and service the kiln.  Unfortunately, the electrician has not come out to our school as of today, October 3rd.  Mr. Witter is trying to expedite our service request, but nothing has happened yet.

So please check back with us to see if we will be able to hold our Clay Docent Workshop #2 on October 9th.
