Mrs. Teskey's third grade students at Oxbow worked with Milford High School art students on a special team project. Students from Tara Johnson’s ceramics class came to Oxbow and helped our third grade students design monsters based on Maurice Sendak’s book Where the Wild Things Are. The high school students then used the colorful drawings to create clay sculptures of each monster. Then these were fired, under-glazed, fired, glazed with an over-glaze, then fired a final time. During the final firing, Ms. Johnson's kiln went on the fritz. So she packed the monsters up and we completed the firing at Oxbow. Students got a special peak into the kiln once it was loaded. Currently, some of these are being displayed at Oxbow and some are being shown in the Milford High art show. Wow!
