Final Semester


Fantabulous! It is the beginning of the end-my final semester of my undergraduate degree J It sure has felt like it has taken me forever to get to this point! However, there are times that it seems like it was just yesterday when I stepped into the realms of higher education.

Anyhow, this semester is sure to be packed with adventure, chaos, joy and maybe even some tears.  During the semester “break,” I have been diligently working on the pieces for my final show which will be opening on February 12th in the Barr Gallery (no rest for the wicked). At present, I will have at least 3 major pieces for the show and a possible minor piece.  Will I unveil what these pieces are? NOPE!! But I will give you snippets of what is to come and you can try to figure out what the pieces are from the photo clues ;) Good Luck with that!  If you can’t figure them out-then you just have to come to the show!! Trust me-it will be worth it!!

Beyond working on the pieces for my final undergraduate show, I have begun to compile my goals for the rest of the semester in ceramics. I would like to improve and experiment further with my throwing capabilities. Soon, I will begin on this by dusting off my wheel and getting my hands dirty in relearning the simple forms of cylinders, bowls and such. Ultimate goal? Can I throw a nice sphere? We will see J

Oh! I almost forgot-I just got a new job too!! *Sheesh!* Like I didn’t have enough on my plate already?!

Ok, so I have to stop now-got work to do and my professor is going to have a cow since this post is so long (he is really going to miss me :P ) Enjoy the photos & Feed the fishies!

My buddy HERMES!! Loading the Anagama at the end of the last semester.

See that white stuff? Yeah, Tempe (my van) doesn't like it and won't drive in it either-such a drama queen!

OOH! What could this be? Find out-February 12th.

Are these little guys making a come back? Hmmm.

Interesting, but what is it? Come see February 12th.

This is my feeling about it being my final semester!
