well the process of firing is a process of waiting and travelling and loading the kiln and unloading and glazing and reloading the kiln and firing and unloading and travelling. But whilst some are in the spare room drying, others are in the kiln having their bisque firing and others have been glazed and are waiting on the shelf for their glaze firing and then they will be travelling to Footscray to be placed!

Message in a cup
Messages and stories of Learning in Footscray are collected and then written onto the insides of one hundred blue cups. The cups are placed in Footscray during Blu-scray events to be found by people and taken home.
BluScray is a collaboration between Victoria University and Maribyrnong City Council
as part of Footscray University Town and the VU Centenary
