Ceramics: an Outlet for Expression Ceramic students with an artistic ability can look at a lump ot clay and actually see something, revealed ad- visor and founder of the Ceramic Club, Adrain Reinis. Started four years ago, it now consists of twenty-three mem- bers. Occupied with creating various art objects such as ceramic bowls, cups, and pitchers, the students prepared to put their creations on sale at their Christmas and Spring Art Sales. Each student earned 80% profit for their art objects and 20% went to the Art De- partment. Approximately two thou- sand dollars made per sale went to- wards the purchasing of new eguip- ment. An Extruder-Coil maker, a slab- roller, electric wheels, and a semi- automatic trimming unit were among the new additions. Member Charles Rush summed it up: The Ceramic Club is really an outlet for us to express ourselves, make a lit- tle money, and get some recognition for our work. 4 Expertly.
