The number of members now stands at seventeen. Membership is open to the student body. There must be a limit to the number of students ad- mitted, however, due to the size of the clubroom, which is located in the Woodshop. Ceramics is the art of making things of fired clay. Many types of work are done. Tiles or slabwork can be made by placing a piece of clay between two sticks and rolling the clay with an- other stick on top until a desired thickness is reached. The clay is then cut to the desired length. Coil building is accomplished by using a piece of clay which has been rolled into one long piece and then coil upon coil in a circular motion. The Potterswheel produced the oldest form of Ceramics and is still used today. The mold method is used by pouring a liquid clay into a plaster mold. The mold absorbs the moisture in the liquid clay, cre- ating a wall thickness of the chosen form. There is also the pinch method of making an object out of clay. The clay is pinched until the desired shape has been made. Miss Murray, an assistant advisor, has helped many of us with free hand sculpturing. She has made several pieces of beautiful work out of clay. After a piece of work has been fired, glazed, and fired again, we are then able to give tl1e article the final glaze. The glaze is a glass-like layer on the surface of the article which is used for decoration, for color, and for practicality. Mr. Amore has arranged for the Ceramics Club to display its projects in the lobby of the high school once a year. See you in tl1e Ceramics Clubl
