A CERAMIC SOLUTION
New Nests for Seabirds on Año Nuevo Island
Students cast one of the nest module designs. View the Progress Blog. |
Design students are partnering with Oikonos to build secure underground nests for a threatened seabird, the Rhinoceros Auklet. The Design Ecology course at the California College of the Arts is instructed by the Head of Ceramics, Nathan Lynch, and Rebar's Matthew Passmore. The course offers a unique, hands-on opportunity for students from many creative disciplines to contribute an applied design solution that will help fulfill Oikonos' mission.
