For their final assignment, 's students had to create a commemorative dish memorializing something special to them. The results are just as unique and varied as their artists, ranging in subject matter from the earth as seen from space to soup. Also included are some other works from around the kiln room in the last days of the summer term. Excellent work everyone!
