Where: Sculpture Yard Behind 1311
Presenter: Marc Lancet
Description: Come Join In Around the Fire!
This Spring firing of the Rocinante Wood Kiln celebrates our 20th Anniversary of the
Wood-fired Ceramics Program at Solano Community College; a program which has become
known world-wide.
Begin your Flex-Cal day on Wednesday March 13, 2019 at 9 am and help us start the
fire with a beautiful lighting ceremony which includes elements from ancient Shinto
traditions and contemporary California practices. All are welcome to come be a part
of the ceremony that gets us started. The firing continues as we feed wood into the
kiln every few minutes 24 hours a day until three days later – Friday evening March
30th. The ceremony will run from 9am to 10 am.
You can choose to stay kiln side or return during the three day firing to observe
the students’ progress. Come visit us and see our students working very hard together
to create works of great beauty, learning the values of collaboration and leadership
along the way. We are here in the sculpture/ceramics yard of the 1300 building 24
hours a day Wednesday through Friday.
Bring your class, bring a friend, come and witness this remarkable 1000 year old traditional
ceramic firing technique. Witness this tri-annual reenactment of eleventh century
ceramics techniques. If you would like to bring a class on a quick or extended field
trip and would like my students and I to speak to your class or even involve them
in a quick hands on clay exercise, call and leave a message (530)574-8008 or e-mail
Marc Lancet.
Many classes have visited in the past from Solano and as far away as Oakland’s California
College of Art, BYU of Idaho and Gillingham School from Dorset, England. Make a point
during your busy day or in the evening after your work day, to stroll over and view
this unique firing process and see our students deeply engaged in learning about art
and leadership one stick of wood at a time.
