When I first joined ceramics, my goal was to make things that would be useful for myself. I wanted to make my own mug that I could drink from and my own bowl that I could eat out of. Then I started to get creative and personal in my work. For example, my slab is a checkerboard pattern because my shoes have the checkerboard print on them. I thought it was a cool way to represent myself through my creation. In ceramics this semester I have learned the great feeling of independence.
