Ancient glaze makes a shine for art/show

Faculty artists Leland
John, Norman Bursheim, Nan­
cy Travers, Dee Frank, Gloria
Webber, Jack Adams and Les
Tipton, have donated their
talents and some of their art
pieces to the faculty art gallery,
which is in it’s final showing to­
day in the Pauling Science
Center.
“My favorite piece of pot­
tery would have to be ‘the Rites
of Spring,’ because it’s a new
idea,” said Nancy Travers
ceramics instructor. “It’s an ex­
pression of a feeling rather than
functional pottery. The idea
took a long time to plan out.”
“I have been working with
a glaze that has fireplace ash in
it. It makes a fluid glaze that
flows into crevices,” Travers
said. The fireplace ash method
was used by ancient Chinese
potters in the Ninth Century.
The Chinese liked to use the
method because they wanted
material close to nature.”
Travers also told of how
chemists have studied many
ancient pottery relics and after
finding the mixture ingredients
of glazes, they used the for­
mulas to make glzes for
modem day use.
The paintings, scuptures,
caligraphy drawings, and
ceramics displays will be open
to the public until 10 p.m. this
evening.
MORNING LIGHT, BY Gloria Webber is selling for $350. The art work is one ol
many on display at the Pauling Center.

"Faces and Places' to film raw
By Kristi Blackman
Of The Print
Ever wonder how spar­
rows make a protective nest for
their eggs? It takes hundreds of
twigs and soft mud to prepare a
secure loft. The basic design
class at the College will be
gathering toothpicks to prepare
structures that will cushion and"
surround a raw egg.
Designing it is one thing,
but students must keep in mind
the egg must be able to survive
a drop from the art department
roof, 10 a.m., Thursday, June
3. At first, the gathering was
meant as entertainment for art
students at the annual picnic.
But, when Faces and Places
heard about the egg-drop they
decided to attend also and they
will enter the contest as well.
“The eggs have to be raw,
they can’t be hard-boiled or
hollowed out,” said Norm Bur­
sheim, art department chair.
“Students should use one box
of toothpicks. They can use
more but they should us
least one box,” Bursheim j
In reviewing slides of
years egg drop, there v
such designs as umbi
shaped structures that v
meant to float softly dowi
the ground, square tooth]
boxes, and airy octagon
oval structures, which were
most successful designs.
The art classes will be f
ing a picnic as an end of
year get together on the <
side deck of the art dep
ment.
