TAMU Water Project members Steve Carpenter and Dick Wukich recently visited California State University-San Bernardino (CSUSB) where they conducted a two-day water filter workshop and public demonstration as well as a public lecture on the production of ceramic water filters and related projects. Below are some images of their trip. Professor Billie Sessions (art education) and Assistant Professor Alison Petty Ragguette (ceramics) made the visit, workshops and lectures possible.

If you have heard us talk about the water filter project in person you also probably know about what we did last Fall 2006, on the campus of Texas A&M University. On a beautiful day we set up our water filter press and made filters in the middle of campus. Here is the beginning of a news article that ran in our college information page on the Web:
A water filter press demonstration on Wednesday (Sept. 26) will be held in conjunction with an exhibition called “Potable Art: Ceramic Water Filter Receptacles” at Texas A&M University. The demonstration will be from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the J. Wayne Stark Galleries patio. All ceramics made at the demonstration will be fired and sent off to the Colonias in Texas.
