He talks about grog, slip, and recipes. He burns wood at 2,350 degrees...even in the summer.
That's Andrew (Andy) Steingass, a lifelong resident of Ada, and a ceramicist.
Andrew graduated from Ada High School in 2004, then earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from ONU. He now spends most of his time at the potter's wheel producing a variety functional pieces.
David Retterer, Ada mayor, talks with ONU Department of Art and Design students at the Ada depot. Students in the Advanced Visual Communication Design course have been tasked to answer these questions: How can graphic designers use their skills to draw attention to—and invoke a solution to—the problem of urban decay? How can they take responsibility and help rehabilitate those wounded environments?
Although school is not out for the summer, plans are underway for a late-summer back-to-school event held at Bethel Church of Christ, rural Ada, on Sunday, Aug. 21, according to Gideon Fisher, who is planning the event.
The event is called “Urge” and it is a free, community-wide, student, back-to-school event.
Fisher explained the event this way:
“The focus of Urge is to encourage students (junior high through college age) to do well in the upcoming school year but more importantly to urge them to be who God wants them to be in their schools.
Today's 4-H meeting we had a special speaker, Mark Light. He showed us through the Spark Lab, The Spark Lab was made for creativity and inamation.
The lab has multiple different electronics from laptops, to Apple tvs and even to a 3D printer. A 3D printer is a machine that takes corn-based plastic heated up to 215 c or 400 f, and makes a any design you want!
