Cosanti Foundation staff Roger Tomalty taught a silt workshop to BOC students in conjunction with the Paolo Soleri exhbition at Boston Architectural Center. One of the two silt cast projects was the pour of a bridge model.

A form of the bridge is pressed into the silt to create a negative space, desired designs are pressed into the walls of this space, then plaster is carefully poured into the cavity. This design is one of Paolo Soleri's early contemplations for a passenger bridge in Scottsdale.

The second half of the bridge model is complete and the model is on display. This report continues on 4/24 with photos of the second silt cast project created by BOC students during this workshop.

This continues the report from 4/11/06 of kiln repair at the Ceramics Apse. The bricks for both sides of the arch have been placed and Ron Chandler takes measurements for the key stone bricks.

Once the key stones were placed and the support form work was removed, the bricks settled into a perfect self-supporting arch.

The first batch of bells is loaded into the newly repaired kiln. The beautiful new ceiling is clearly visible.

The peach trees have not been able to carry a full harvest for several years because of late frost. We hope that this year the trees will be able to save their bloom and bring delicious fruit in the summer.
