Did you know that the Blue Heron Bash online auction still has available items? This is your last week to order student-made GRS mugs:
“Torben and his siblings (UA students) invested in a pottery wheel and later in a kiln because they missed ceramics at GRS so much during the pandemic. Torben is a fan of making mugs so with the help of the GRS Athena robotics team and their 3-D printing skills, created this lovely “limited edition” stamped mug. Each mug is handcrafted from medium fire white clay & finished with iron oxide & textured turquoise glaze.”
Place your order today! Orders are due Friday, May 27th. These would make a great graduation or teacher gift!
