Congratulations
to Kay DiLisio and her students at Rodgers Forge Elementary
School who are participating in the exhibit: “Dialogues:
Collaborative Ceramic Artwork by Teacher and Student.” The
exhibit will be on display at the Maryland State Teachers
Association Headquarters, Main Street Annapolis, March
3 – 30, with a reception on March 30, 5 – 7
PM. Student artist, Amy Q. stated, “I selected the raptor red-tailed hawk, and my teacher selected the cactus on
which
to mount it. We first made open pinch pots, then we
added the head and tail. After the teacher set it on
the cactus, we added the wings. We made all the parts
separately before putting them together. My teacher
fired the sculpture at cone 05 in an electric kiln,
and then we painted it with velvet underglazes. Then
we stuck copper wire into the cactus holes for needles.
When the sculpture came out of the glaze firing, the
colors weren’t exactly what we had expected,
but there was greater contrast. So we were pleased.”

New Town High School. An exhibit of their drawings,
paintings, and photographs is on display in the ESS
