The ceramic pieces in the Moraga Public Library lobby display case were made by seventh- and eighth-grade students in the Visual Arts Class at Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School, instructed by Moose Wesler. Some of the pieces depict the students' favorite foods; others are functional pottery created using a variety of techniques: coil-building, pinching clay, rolling out slabs, and throwing on the potter's wheel. The ceramics were decorated with glazes, slips and acrylic paints. The white coil pots were inspired by Japanese Jomon ceramics; the food by the students' own stomachs. The visual arts program at JM is grateful for the support of the MEF and JM PTA, which last year contributed to the purchase of a new kiln. The pieces will be available for viewing through May 29.
