may 6tiles and technique

Today was a fun, busy day. One class at a time came to the art room to work with Mr. Birch. Each student used a yellow glaze to highlight selected areas of the tile. We used a dry brush and dabbing technique.
We thank the parents who helped, Mr. Birch for all his work, and the staff of EKES for their cooperation in this project. The pieces will be shown on June 10th with the dedication of our solar panels,and installed in the school that afternoon.
