Volunteers needed for Winnequah mural project!

Kristin writes:

We are putting together our volunteer schedule for the Winnequah Tile Mural project now. The residency officially starts on Monday, January 11 and will go for 2 weeks. There are 3 ways to volunteer for this part of the project.

1. Classroom Volunteer
The artists, Jeanne and David, are asking for 2 volunteers in the classroom at all times for those 2 weeks. The classroom volunteers will be helping the students get their wet tiles out and put away again at the end of the class time. Students may also need help working with the clay as they trace the drawings, and then outline them in coils, or build them up in slabs.

2.Glazing
Beginning on Wednesday, January 14th, adult volunteers will be painting the colored glazes on the tiles. This is a job that requires adults as it is best if the glazes don't overlap, and there needs to be 3-4 coats of glaze for each area of color.

3.Lunches
Finally, we are looking for volunteers who might like to bring a lunch in for Jeanne and David. The lunch volunteer can bring in anything - simple and easy is generally best. The Aurelius' are not picky eaters! Sandwiches and salads are great. We have found that it is fun for whoever is bringing in food to bring enough for themselves and then join the artists in the office conference room. Lunch is at about 11:30 each day.

Once you've decided what you'd like to do, take a look at the schedule below and decide what works for you. Then just let us know if you'd like to be in the classroom, glaze, or bring a lunch, and the for what days and times.
