Summer Workshop

This Summer, The Gallery Hosted different Summer Art Workshops. I was Lucky to be invited by Yvonne(Still Odd to call her that) to Assist her for the Ceramics Cupcakes. The Workshop ended up being a few people short, so she didnt really need my help, so I got to Play with Clay myself :D

Each Person was Given a pound of Clay and were tasked in creating 2 Ceramic Cupcakes, 1 for Practice, and 1 to show the improving Skills.

Some of the people who were there, it was their first time working with Clay.
Others, Like Myself, have been in a ceramics Class before, so we were able to do what we wanted.
I Wanted a Cupcake, and Something Else.

This is the Cupcake I made.

I Loved It, This was the first time Hand Building a Cupcake, And It turned out awesome.








For my other Piece, I wanted it to Fit with the Desert Theme.
So, I decided on a Doughnut.



This Turned out Really Well too, You cant really tell, but there is a layer of Clay that looks like the Icing, when I Glaze this, It will be a different Color, and will have Sprinkles.

There were 8 people there, and these are some of their Projects.



My Friend Ruth was there, and since she has been in Ceramics, she decided to make something different, and she chose the Monster from Where The Wild Things Are.


I Loved this Little Guy, he turned out Really well.

And Finally, Here were a Few of the Examples she had from Previous Students, and she had made herself.




I had an amazing Time there, and I cant wait until more Workshops start in the fall.

This is where my Heart Truly belongs, In Clay.

Cupcakes

This Saturday, My Ceramics Teacher is having a Ceramics Workshop, and She will be demonstrating the Subtractive Method, and using it to Make 2 Ceramic cupcakes.

At the Time this was announced, I wanted to go, but could not afford it.

That was until she Offerered me the position as her Assistant, so I will be there assisting her in teaching everybody. I am So Very Excited about this.

I Will post Pictures, and Show some of the work done.
