As senior project comes to an end, it’s hard to really let go and start cleaning up the ceramics room. I went in this morning to finish glazing my final pieces, and help Kate clean up. I glazed 3 bowls that I made for Kelly, and glazed 3 mugs which will hopefully be sold at express fest on Wednesday. It’s crazy to think that three weeks is basically over and we’ll be graduating in less then a week. Pottery has saved me so many times, especially when it comes to emotions. I’m able to tune out of the world whether it’s a half hr or 3 hours and make pottery. I hope I can keep pursuing my passion for art and ceramics in college next year.

Senior project day 1

4/29/19 5:15 PM Woke up at 7 thinking I had to go to class only to remember I couldn’t sleep in another hour or so. I put on some sweatpants and walked down to slocumb hall to make some pottery. Each day I go down I’m going to focus on making a set of mugs or bowls. Today I made a set of 3 mugs and I also made two bowls. I’ll be in at night actually throwing and making pottery and during the day I’ll be trimming. It’s the most quiet at night, allowing me to really focus. Total hours=5

Blog day 15

5/18/19 10:15 PM   Today I woke up early and went into slocumb to Finnish some trimming. I got 4 mugs trimmed, and trimmed a big bowl I made for my mom and a vase. I spent some time watching videos on pottery and how to make certain shapes. I spend my last hour putting handles on my mugs, which has been a struggle for me since I started making pottery, but my technique and skill has improved so much in the last 2 weeks. Once this last batch of pottery is fired it will be for sale at express fest. Daily hours=3 Total hours= 63
