Glazing Houses - here are the images

Here are the images from our house project. I will be firing the houses all weekend and hope to have them on display on Tuesday. They will be raffled at the Habitat for Humanity Gala on May 3.

Other news. We have  hit 2000 page views on the blog. Which means 2000 people have not only visited the blog but they have clicked on an individual image to see it more closely.

Glazing the Houses for the Habitat for Humanity Gala

We glazed the houses today with the help of the Gabriel Dumont students. The houses are absolutely delightful. I am so excited to see how they look after they are fired.

I will upload images later. My school computer is not working again, it  won't read photos so it will be a while. Sorry about that as I promised they would be up today for you to share.  I will try and upload them tonight at home.

Clay Houses for Habitat for Humanity Gala Dinner May 3

We began a new project today at school with the grade 4's.  They made two clay houses with the assistance of the SUNTEP university students, one house for themselves and one for donation to the Habitat for Humanity Gala dinner on May 3. The dinner will be having a raffle as most dinners do. However at this dinner rather than purchasing a paper ticket, a clay house with a house with a house number is your ticket. If your house number is drawn you are the winner.

Below are images of the work in progress. I will upload images of the houses (in close up) later this week. Thanks to Cynthia Fey for taking the photos, I am now sure I actually exist. I am shocked to see myself in film. There are so few photos of me in this world because I am always the one taking the photos. Also, thank you to the SUNTEP students that helped out today. I was fun to see the houses come to life with your assistance and I didn't feel nearly so pulled in 46 directions today.

More information about the gala will be coming out soon. My students are doing the graphic design for the event as well. We will be photographing some of the houses for use on the invitations, place cards and program.
