Mayan Mask

Students are glazing Mayan Masks that we hand-sculpted. Once glazes have been applied to the bisque-ware and have a chance to dry, the piece is carefully loaded into the kiln for the glaze firing. Pieces cannot be allowed to touch at all, or the glazes will melt together, welding them together. When the masks come out of the kiln, they will become beautiful. Some masks have many designs, and some are colourful. The masks will give all the teachers and students a wonderful surprise in the winter 2013 Art exhibition.
