One big, happy, ceramic family!

        Over the past few months I have submitted works to various places in hopes of getting my foot into the
gallery world.  Wish us luck!

Goings on...

     Well hello everyone!
It feels likes its been forever since I've posted (I think it's because it has been)!  This past semester was my busiest ever.  On top of my regular course load and job, I added another job and an internship. It was a lot of hard work and I pushed myself very hard, but in the end it payed off.  I am pleased to say that I have finally graduated from Arcadia University with my BFA in ceramics! Not only that, my GPA was 3.93!  I am very proud of myself.  Additionally, the art department held its Arcadia Made sale again this year.  This was a wonderful confidence boost for me.  To see that my work was totally desirable was just the greatest feeling and gave me that push I needed to get on track.  Now that I am finished school, I'll be working at the university as studio manager and will hopefully start building an inventory.  More to come!  Also, check the gallery as I have updated it!

I am very excited to announce that I applied for the 2013 student show at NCECA! Pictured above is my submission page.  Below are the lovely applicants.

Wish us all luck!

Claire goes to Clayworks!

Claire, 2012

    This is a super exciting little picture I have here!  Why?  This picture shows one of my mugs in an exhibition on Baltimore Clayworks' website.  What a great moment!  Hopefully I'll get to see a lot more of these in the future! 

     As a side note, seeing my soon-to-be married name next to my mug is really amazing as well. We are getting married in less than a year!

Here's the link again for the rest of the gallery.

 Also, you may notice that I only have to beat out a measly 150 other wonderful cups.  Any luck you can send my way would be greatly appreciated!
