Trash Flowers

In my Ceramics one class last semester Mike Tracey Came up with this amazing idea to collect trash and plant them in Planters.  In My Ceramics two class this is an installation that we are pulling together.  We first received some local clay after processing that down we made flower pots.  In the time that these flower pots are drying we are collecting trash that washes along the bank of the Iowa River.  This is my plant and one of my students Joanna that we collected.  Next step is to fire the pots and plant our plants in them.
