Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I think one of the best parts about ceramics is the GLAZE! Actually, the absolute best part is when you open the kiln after a glaze firing. The way the colors just pop out at you is the best feeling. I always love to see the students' reactions to their pieces as well. But, in order for all this to happen, we need glaze and lots of it. The more color options, the more fun it is to glaze. This project is for a variety of Mayco Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes. Colors like Pink Pixie, Peppermint Twist, and Fruity Freckles.
