Bright and Blue!

July 23, 2024
If you had any reason to go to the school once it was out, you would have immediately noticed the bright and fresh blue base that the river mural and then the salmon will eventually be mounted on.
Here’s what local painter Daniel Enciso and a group of incredible volunteers achieved in only two days.
Thank you all so much for cleaning, prepping, priming and painting these walls for the muralists!
Stay tuned for updates on the river mural progress!

A Salmon Factory at CE!

July 23, 2024

It’s been a salmon factory at Carnation Elementary School!

To achieve the clay salmon for the art installation project between CEPTSA and The Lee Arts Foundation:
1. Clay must be purchased and picked up in Seattle. Lee Arts Volunteer rockstar Jules Hughes drove her truck to Seattle for many materials pickups.
2. Volunteers must roll clay on a slab clay roller, use templates to cut salmon into specific shapes and sizes and score the backs for future installation.
3. Volunteers stack salmon between large drywall pieces to dry and flatten the fish for a bisque firing in the kiln (a pre-fire step prior to glazing).
4. Local artist and Lee Arts member Tassin Smith bisque fired every salmon in the kiln. A huge feat!
5. CEPTSA Art Docents prepare glazes and brushes for classrooms and teach students how to properly glaze a bisque-fired fish (three coats of glaze for the color to pop and no paint on the underside of the fish or it could stick to the kiln).
6. Volunteers paint a clear-coat on all glazed salmon in preparation for a final kiln fire.
7. Tassin wipes the bottoms of each fish clean to ensure they will not stick and stacks the fish into the kiln. She monitors the fish and swaps out batches continuously.
Approximately 30 volunteers donated around 200 hours to complete the clay salmon alone. Thank you so much to our Salmon Squad who were essential in making this project happen.
