Connecting Systems

November 11, 2014 • After School Workshop

Last week we became the engineers of many modular creations.

Working in teams and against the clock, we were equipped with a range of connecting systems and materials to connect; with these we built bridges, towers, robots and all sorts of other things. Rotating around the space, our teams of engineers turned their hands and expertise to working with cardboard, paper, popsicle sticks and ribbon. What better way to stretch their creative muscles!

Meanwhile, the kiln has been steadily cooking away in the background and transforming raw clay to gleaming, jewel-like treasures. Here are some pictures from the last opening of the kiln:

It strikes me that our big silver beast of a kiln deserves a name – can you help? Let us know if you have any suggestions!
