ON EXHIBIT —
A ceramic piece by Laurel Green (pictured here with Tim Bair in the background talking with First Friday Art Walk participants) is on display at the Presque Isle library through the end of March.
The exhibit is a celebration of ceramics pieces created by students during the fall semester. The show will be displayed for the entire month of March.
In the UMPI Ceramics I class, students are taught basic ceramic construction methods that include pinch-, slab- and coil-building, slump molds and wheel-throwing. They also learn to mix their own glazes and kiln-fire the ceramic pieces they create.
