When you moved here did you sign up for ceramics or were you placed in ceramics?

I actually chose ceramics because I needed a filler class, I wasn’t expecting it to turn out to what it was.

Have you ever taken a class like that before?

This is the first class I’ve ever taken dealing with art in general.

How has it impacted your life thus far? Is it just kind of an in class thing that you do like as a hobby or do you maybe want to take it out of class at some point?

I wouldn’t mind taking it out of class at some point, it’s a nice little thing just to take a break from school, be able to mess around and see what you can do with what you’re provided with.

My dad happens to be rather artistic as well. In his high school years he actually participated in multiple competitions, going to state for sculptures and paintings he’s done. So, I guess it was just inherited.

Really? What did he do? Ceramics as well?

Not then, in his high school years he actually participated in multiple competitions. Going to state for sculptures and paintings he’s done.

Do you think you want to follow in his footsteps and maybe apply for a competition?

I think it would be fun to participate in a competition, it would be interesting to compare my work to others, and see what they have done for whatever the competition was about.

Anything else you would like to add?

Ceramics is pretty fun having Ms. Henry as a teacher. Very hands on, tips and tricks whenever you need it. It’s kind of nice, she just kind of lets the students just kind of run with it, get what they want done.

So when did you figure out that you’re good at ceramics?

I don’t know. I don’t exactly think I’m good at it. I know I can do decent, but I guess it’s just a personal thing. I see what doesn’t look great, so I try to improve it.
