Making something out of nothing?
That's what ceramics is all about.
"I started working with ceramics in high school, and as soon as I began, I knew that ceramics was my medium," Edwards said.
fire." This allows you to glaze the pot next, and then put it into a "glaze fire." Now the art is finished.
Making a ceramic piece can take anywhere from a week to a week and a half, depending on how long you let the clay dry. The first step is to throw the clay on the pottery wheel and mold your piece. Then it needs to be set out to dry. It takes a few days to become "bone dry," dry enough to move to the fire stage.
Sara Edwards, Mandeville, La., junior and Ceramics Club vice president, said she enjoyed using clay to bring out her creative side.
"Ceramic art includes all forms of art made out of clay," she said. Edwards said about 15 members attended the meetings regularly. The
club meets on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. for about an hour, and the club is open to anyone interested.
The goal of the club is to get students interested in enrolling in ceramics classes. Each meeting consists of talking about upcoming events, such as the Ceramics Symposium at the Lawrence Arts
Next, the pot moves into a "bisque
Center during fall break.
Other events include the National Conference on Education in Ceramic Arts, in Pittsburgh in March, and a sale of student art just before winter break.

ODD NEWS Man loses clothes, flees after blundered burglary
DULUTH, Minn. — A man who allegedly tried to burglarize a home lost his clothes in a scuffle with the 69-year-old homeowner and then tried to streak away before he was arrested.
Wayne and Katie Boniface returned home from dinner Thursday night at a neighbor's to find the man in their house. Wayne Boniface said the man made the mistake of grabbing his wife.
First, Boniface said, he ripped the man's shirt off. Then, "his head was down over the railing, and in today's world, pants are worn fairly loose. I pulled his pants, and his pants and underpants and shoes came completely off. He was completely nude."
"As soon as he grabbed my wife, I had him in the kitchen wrestling him to the ground in a headlock and arm-lock." Boniface said.
When police asked Bonafice he could identify the suspect, he said: "Oh, yeah. I believe he's

Nonhill, 51, was arrested last year after he was spotted building cabinets in the buff at a home where he had been hired to work.
Honniball earned two years' probation in 2003 after being caught three times working naked in Berkeley, which prohibits public nudity. Oakland does not have a similar ban.
Salty burger leads to night in iail for fast food worker
UNION CITY, GA. — A McDonald's employee spent a night in and faced criminal charges because a police officer's burger was too salty, so salty that he said it made him sick.
Kendra Bull was arrested Friday, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on $1,000 bail.
But then police fffer Wendell Adams got a burger made with the oversalted meat, and he returned a short time later and told the manager it made him sick.
Bull, 20, said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and a co-worker, "who tried to tromp the salt off"
Bull admitted spilling salt on the meat, and Adams took her outside and questioned her, she said.
"If it was too salty, why did (Adams) not take one bite and throw it away?" Bull said.
