🎉 Exciting News from Freeport Middle School! 🎉

Our art program just fired up a brand-new kiln! Ms. Cawiezell’s Advanced Art students were the first to test it out by creating whimsical pinch pot critters. After bisque firing and glazing, their creations came to life with color and shine. Next up—students are setting their sights on making mugs! For many, this is their very first experience with ceramics, and the excitement in the studio is unmistakable. Here’s to many more clay creations ahead!
