Where the magic happens. Some of the features in the library student showcase are the work of students in ceramics classes. The showcase happens about every 2 months. Their current project is working on cups, but the previous project was ghosts for Halloween. Room 201 in the 700 building includes a kiln, pottery wheel, and glaze wall. These are things students use to create their pieces. Marianna Garvey, ceramics teacher, does her best to help her students in different ways. “My goal is to provide opportunities for students to learn about the ceramics medium and art-making in whatever way suits them.”
