Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: summer camp

This morning, the kid’s terra cotta projects from Monday came out of the kiln. I attached wires so they can hang their plaques when they get home. It’s always so much fun to see their boundless creativity… the colors, the textures, the whimsy that shows up when they are left to their own devices with a bunch of clay! Especially when you’ve got young kids like this week… mostly 6-8 year olds… with Ollie being the youngest at only 4 years old!!!

Gotta love the sense of wreckless abandon, excessive texturing & crazy glazing! And the wonderful effect that all came together in the end… much to my own dismay!
