#Ceramics with

.
Ceramics came to me completely by chance. I took it as an elective, and had Pedro Ramirez as an instructor. He introduced me to a process called slip casting. It involves using plaster molds and liquid clay. Later on I took wheel throwing with David Gibson—which I’m still slowly learning. As a result I’m pursing an art minor, concentrated in ceramics.

Time Management.
It’s always a challenge to time manage, especially with time consuming majors such as architecture or Ceramics. During finals, I would work in the ceramics studio early in the morning, then later in the evening in the architecture studios.

Resources.
My resources are always my teachers. I learned so much though Pedro Ramirez and even more though David Gibson. They are also my peers, ceramic studios have so much inspiration flowing though them.

What’s Next?
For anyone interested in Ceramics or hand building I would recommend trying over bake polymer clay. It’s a fun process to get your hands messy, build something and be able to come up with a finished result. Especially during quarantine. Other alternatives include working with clay and having it fired at a local pottery studio.
