This image is of a permanent installation in the Marshall, Minnesota Middle School. The artists at Blackhawk have recieved grants for several workshop residencies in Minnesota Schools. This usually involves two sessions a week apart and held at the school. One session introduces the project and each student is given a clay tile and instructions for carving it. Another session is used for fine detailing, burnishing, and the application of the underglaze. Tiles are dried, bisque fired, glazed and fired at our studio and then installed in the school by Blackhawk. Feedback from students, teachers and parents has been very positive. |
