Community Honoree Rudsdale High School - Fire & Light Soirée 2023
Rudsdale High School is a Title 1 alternative education program located in Deep East Oakland. In 2022, students and educators from Rudsdale began attending Crucible workshops as part of a three-year Arts Incentive Grant, designed to connect OUSD schools with alternative arts education opportunities.
Despite recent challenges with the pandemic and a tragic incident of on-campus gun violence, students and educators have shown immense passion and dedication to their arts practice, exploring creative career pathways and using art-making as a way to heal together.
As our 2023 Community Honoree, we recognize the incredible heart, resilience, and tenacity that is Rudsdale High School’s community of students and educators.

    The composition of the glue is very interesting. Apparently it is glue from quince seeds or something like liquid glass with borax (boric acid). Your lesson is very informative.

    Love this. Raunchy irreverent pop art with real world utility. Brilliant. Reminds me of this traumatic memory I have of making this really ornate vase in ceramics II at Las Vegas Academy of visual and performing arts, the teacher thought it looked like a bong and destroyed it in front of the class. I was super innocent then.in restrospect, it looked more like a hookah pipe honestly. So the fact that you guys are making paraphernalia at your school without judgement is in a way cathartic for me.
