The final semester of my BFA program has been an incredible amount of work, and an even more incredible amount of growth and progress. I decided to really challenge myself and focus on raku for my senior capstone project because I wanted to force myself to embrace the unpredictability of the process. It has been quite a journey. A roller coaster ride of success and failure that has only increased my love of the art. Each piece that works is a surprise and a gift. Each piece that doesn't is a learning experience. What a wonderful way to spend my last semester.
Although I'm itching to post photos, I am holding off until the works go up in the gallery. The show goes up on April 21, and opens on the 25th. Check back around then to see what I've been up to.
Also, you may have noticed a change in my page identity. I've been working on my "branding". I decided GCPottery doesn't quite say what I want to say as an artist. I'm trying out GEC Studios to see how that feels. I'll wait to connect to my own url until I'm done trying on names. Hopefully I'll be done monkeying-around with that by the time I open my actual studio!
