and Keith J. Williams (Art and Design Chair at Concordia University, St. Paul)
Lazare Rottach (Normandale Faculty in Art) and Keith J. Williams (Art and Design Chair at Concordia University, St. Paul) will present their findings from the Extraordinary Education Collaboration Grant awarded in 2013. This project involves the construction and continual joint usage of atmospheric kilns located at Concordia University. Atmospheric kilns are usually high temperature kilns in which specific firing atmospheres, (beyond simply heating the kilns), are introduced for a variety of aesthetic and sometimes practical effects. The discussion will focus on the challenges involved in designing the kilns and the outdoor kiln space, the construction phase and some early results of the project. We will also discuss the collaborative work that continues ahead of us and the important opportunities that grants like this can provide in creating excellent programs that encourage more expansive educational objectives and outcomes.
