To commemorate the explosive history of Mount St. Helens, the WSU Department of Art invites participation in the creation of 100 pieces of ash-glazed flatware. Workshop participants will learn about volcanic ash, assist in rolling slabs of clay, and shaping and decorating commemorative plates.* The commemoration will culminate on Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU in connection with The Art of Food, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. All 100 plates will be on display, accompanied by a program about the historical significance of the eruption at WSU and in our region.
