This week I put the final show up!! I have 9 pieces in my final show that I am super super proud of! I can’t believe I’ve finally made it to the final chapter of my journey as an undergraduate. The show will be up all week this week! I spent a lot of time…

This week I’ve been finishing all of my glazing for my show! It was also wood kiln week. I can’t believe this was my last wood kiln with Clemson. I feel as if I have fired so many wood kilns and I think it’s one of the things I’ll miss most about being here. Here’s…

This week I finished my first glazed pieces for my show!! Since the end of last week, I was able to finish two more large pots to finish up my large pot army!! On Saturday, I got the awesome opportunity to pit fire some ceramics for the first time! It was a lot of fun…

Hello and welcome back to a very busy studio week! Starting off strong with finishing wet work on a vessel. This little dot pattern quite literally took around 15 hours of my time, but I’m really happy with it so far. I did some cone 6 glaze/underglaze tests this week and I’m going to be…
