TJR Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hey, gang; I am just letting all of you know that I am the recipient of the Canadian Society for Education Through Art award. They are flying me to Edmonton, Alberta for the conference and to receive the award. This represents a culmination of 26 years of teaching art from elementary, to high school, to commercial art, and at the university level. My award is for secondary art education[grades9-12]. The award is $1000.00. If anyone on the blog is planning on attending this conference, please come up and say hello. Tom Roberts[TJR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJR Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thank-you to all of you for your kind thoughts. I have already spent the cash on a used kiln-new for me @$700.00. I also bought a venting system which took the remainder. I hope to get a lot of years out of this kiln. Tom[TJR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly in Ontario Nelly; In my high school classes, I teach all the media, including drawing, painting,basic design, sculpture,but only hand building for clay work. I have one Brent wheel and a huge Cone Art kiln[which is vented].In my personal life, I have a stUdio in the backyard the size of a two car garage, but purpose built for pottery. I have a heated floor, so in the winter, it is always warm. TJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
