This past thursday I took my Advanced Ceramics Class on a field trip to experience a Raku Firing. If you do not glaze your pieces, once they come out of the kiln, you can throw horse hair on them. The horse hair burns linear designs onto the pieces. It is very beautiful and very smelly!
Here is a pic from Prom 2011! I am standing with almost all of my AP Studio students. They are all girls - it is a fun class!
Here are some pictures from Spain! I haven't really shared many since I took 600 pictures! I will eventually make a book. Here are a few to give you an idea of what I did!
View from the town of Mijas. It is a small white walled city in the mountains. Here I visited a tiny church carved into the side of a rock, and another church with beautiful frescos and statues, and meandered around with others into shops and restaurants. It was a lovely day! I am looking down the mountain - somewhere along the coast is the hotel where we stayed.
TAPAS! Best meal ever!! After visiting the Alhmbra Palace, our guide took me and three others to a local lunch spot. This was a bar known by locals for their tapas. This meal was the BEST I had on the trip. It was absolutely delicious!!!
Pic of me in the Alhambra Palace. Beautiful palace built by the Moors and the last stronghold before the Spainards pushed them out. There are several rooms in this palace, beautiful moasic and carvings. Fountains and gardens. It was beautiful!
Hope you enjoyed!! Love you both and can't wait until this summer!!
