Today we had our first introduction to the ceramics medium, and each other! After doing introductions, we made stamps out of clay, which we will use later to sign our other works of art. Instead of signing their name on their pieces, some professional potters use individualized stamps to put on their works, so that is what we are going to do.
We also started on a pinch-pot cup project that we will hopefully get to finish tomorrow. Today, we learned about working with the clay and made our pinch pots. Tomorrow we will make them into cups and then decorate them.
During the introduction part of the day, I told the students a little bit about me and my artwork, and I thought that I might share some here as well. I am in my last year studying to be an art teacher (and hopefully getting a job next year) at Brigham Young University, and have had quite a lot of experience in the Ceramics field. Below are pictures some of my ceramics pieces that I have done in the past.
I am so excited for this session of camp and am looking forward to the many pieces that we will get to create during our time together.
