its been a long time...

i'm knee deep in historical classes this semester.  i haven't touched clay since last September (burnt out).  my life is full of kittens, and a dwarven man with a beard. 
i'm going to Africa.
i'm now a art history,crafts and history student at bsu. freak out.

looking into grad school. we'll see how that goes. 
first, let's graduate, mkay?

-going to Europe in two weeks.
-received an A in my final ceramics class (along with an A in my US History, B+ in Art & Arch. History and B in German).
-intership at decordova has turned into a summer job two nights a week.

photos of my final work from this past semester to follow. too busy to breath.

whirlwind

so this semester is flying by.
i have so much work to do it's slightly horrifying.
i'm considering an intership this summer (on top of summer classes and a trip to Germany with school)

on the upside, i have a piece in the next issue of The Bridge coming out April 29th, 2011. so that's something to look forward to!

here's hoping the rest of the semester runs smoothly.

testing 1,2,3

so this semester i've decided to devote my time in ceramics to glaze testing.  along with trying to strengthen my form and technique i'll be working with glaze chemistry. 

i've already made about 15 pinch pots as test bowls.  only have to make about 75-85 more... we'll see how things go.

it starts again.

tomorrow is the start of the semester.  my first class starts thursday at 11.  ceramics starts next tuesday.  this promises to be a ridiculously strenuous schedule.

monday: work 9:30-8pm
tuesday: school 11-10pm
wednesday: work 10:30-8pm
thursday: school 11-3:30; work 4:30-8pm
friday: work 10:30-8pm

let's do this!

the final results are in....

....on my grades.

this semester i managed to get two A's and a B+.
-that's significant if you think about the amount of procrastination that went into studying and paper writing...too bad on the waiting to the last minute to do things but yay for the grades.
Ceramics III (A)
Western Civ from Reformation to today (A)
Asian Art History and Architecture (B+)

it's a festivus miracle!

the bridge:v. 7

i submitted two pieces of pottery and three pieces of jewelry to the bridge: vol. seven.  fingers crossed something makes it..
- the student workers of the bridge seemed pretty stoked on my stuff, so perhaps that means only good things? too bad it's a selection of work selected by a non-biased group of professors and art professionals.

 i guess we'll find out in a month or so.  hopefully i get my info on my finals back soon as well. this semester has been a long, yet rewarding one.
i've been thinking of grad. school more and more recently.  the ideas been on the back burner so to speak, but i'm reconsidering after a lovely talk with my history professor, who i admire greatly.


happy holidays and all that jazz.
