PURE JOY

COIL/ SLAB/PINCH/PADDLED POTS

CERAMICS II

clay, glaze, oxide

Let me introduce senior Sarah Chang,

my top most Ceramic student this year.

We've seen several of her pieces throughout the year, 

but I couldn't resist taking this pix of her...

with her joyful smile as she shows me her finished pot.

And what a cool pot it is.

A combo. piece where she is combining a bit of everything,

coils, slabs, pinching and paddling.

Plus she had to work to a larger size and make a lidded container.

Love the ebb and flow of the design.

Sarah is truly a master craftswoman and a fabulous designer.

She will receive my Highest Ceramics Award on June 1,

at the Senior Awards Banquet Nite.

Oops, was that supposed to be a secret?

 ha ha

Congrats Sarah,

you have been an absolute pleasure to teach,

such a self-starter and so very mature and patient as I tried to handle 4 classes at once.

Thank you for always knowing what you needed to do,

even before I had a chance to tell you.

Also know that you were the faster learner I've ever had to master the potter's wheel.

I will miss you greatly.

You are in my heart and I love you so very much.

Can't wait to see where your life will take you from here.
