intro to ceramics
In this studio course, I experimented with clay in a studio environment. I was able to get a general feel and understanding of how ceramics works as a process. The feeling of working with clay was very natural and felt deeper than other art mediums I've worked with previously. Unfortunately, we moved online at the start of the pandemic, so the rest of our work was mainly text and research based.
a comic
For this project, we were instructed to choose a form or process and explain it in a creative way by creating a comic. This could be hand drawn or digital.
​
My comic goes into the life of a handcrafted mug. The entire work is only three pages long and gets into personifying a functional item and the existentialism that the mug goes through as it ages and goes through its life as an object.

"tea for two"
For this project, we were instructed to look at interesting tea pots and the process that different artists went through to create unique forms.
​
I designed a teapot that was surrounding the idea of the pandemic from a historic perspective. The Plague Doctor head and shoulders would be used as the vessel.
​
In the future, I would love to create the teapot that I designed.

"dwellings"
With this project, we had to create the dwellings of a civilization of people. The civilization could be of a people that were fictional that we created.
​
I designed a small homestead that belonged to a group of fairies. These dwellings sat at the base of a tree in my front yard. We also had to document and explain how they would operate as a community: gathering food, socialization patterns, what they did in their free time, how they traveled.
