Each fall\, Upper school students currently enrolled in an Eagle Ridge Academy art class create a clay piece to be fired in the outdo or pit fire. This age-old method of firing ceramic wares has become a rare alternative to the modern electric and gas firing techniques used today. Students bury their art pieces in a brick pit\, pile wood and other combus tibles on top\, and light the entire mess on fire. While 20-foot flames ma ke for great entertainment\, the actual purpose of this alternative firing method is the intricate surface treatment that can be achieved no other w ay. This beloved Eagle Ridge tradition\, started in 2009\, is an opportuni ty for Eagle Ridge students and staff to come together to experience truth \, goodness\, and beauty.
