I tried my hand at making a bow, looking forward to making more of them in a bigger piece. #art #bow #ceramics #photo #Michigan #sculpture #CMU #artist #glaze #cute

Daffodil #2 is done, more of a yellow simple glaze. #art #ceramics #photo #Michigan #sculpture #daffodils #flowers #glaze #artist #CMU

Daffodil is officially glazed! The new glaze is meant to look like birch bark, but I think it looks more like ice cream. What are your thoughts? #ceramics #daffodils #flowers #photo #Michigan #sculpture #glaze #art #artist

One of my favorites that came out of the glaze firing today. The worm. #art #ceramics #glaze #photo #sculpture #kiln #Michigan #clayart #pottery #studioart #worms

Late night glaze firing, very exciting to finally see the finished results tomorrow. #art #Michigan #glaze #ceramics #sculpture #pottery #kiln #photo

Unfortunate sacrifice to the kiln during bisque firing. Oh well, I just will have to make another. #japaneseballoonflower #flower #art #kiln #bisque #art #fire

Manual kiln firing happening! A lot of pieces have been waiting for their turn for bisque firing. #art #bisque #ceramics #clayart #photo #studioart #pottery #flowers #sculpture

Carnation. This one was quite difficult, I would like to try again in the future. In hopes of getting a lighter feeling. #carnation #ceramics #sculpture #art #pottery #clay #photo #flowers

Working on a phobia piece. Does this look like a handful of maggots? #art #sculpture #maggots #phobia #bugs #ceramics #pottery

Officially have the home studio set up. Made this lily in celebration. Hopefully when it fires it will be a bright red. #art #ceramics #flower #lily #redclay #pottery #sculpture

Officially have a new profile photo, after getting professional photos done.

Here in Michigan we have some crazy smoke carried from Canada. It does make some interesting sunsets. I also was able to capture a loon. #canada #art #sunsets #photograph #color #pretty

Starting a new drawing for the summer. This is a personal project so I'm in no rush to finish. #drawing #art #charcoal #figure #nature #crane #largescale

Working with friends today to get the studio ready. This table needed a good sanding before we started throwing clay on it. #art #studio #ceramics #sanding #wood #photo

Claire Thibodeau's was the last demo I visited of MCAA. Her floral work is astounding. I was extremely impressed by her ways of uniquely making flowers. I walked away from this one truly excited to try them myself in the future. #art #ceramics #flowers #pottery #MCAA #artist

The second day of MCAA there was a panel for their two keynote speakers: Kyungmin Park and Paul Briggs. Delightful ceramic artists who answered our questions, like "how to be an artist in this social uproar?" They did an astounding job and I hope to run into them again in the future. #ceramics #art

The last demo I saw of MCAA was of my own professor Isreal Davis (Izzy). Who demonstrated his ceramic drums and the passion behind his work. An example of his work from the Devil-May-Care Series, "Scare Tactics" is shown. #ceramics #art #pottery #WMU #pottery #music #MCAA #screenprinting

The first demo I saw at MCAA was Benjie Heu. A passionate sculptor who showed us how he makes his wall art. I've added an example of his work "Huligan" that was shown in the gallery. #ceramics #michigan #art #BenjiHeu #figure #sculptor #pottery #glaze

I'm back from Michigan Mud! I had an amazing time meeting everyone. I have many photos and plan on posting individually for each independent artist I have seen. I'm feeling so inspired and motivated by everyone I met. Thank you, to the amazing team behind the event. #ceramics #MichiganMud #MCAA

I've dropped off the Sculpture for MCAA at Western University. Now to sit and wait for tomorrow, with a coffee and a good book. #MCAA #ceramics #art #WesternUniversity #book

The semester's ending, so no more studio time until I set up a kiln at home. But I’m not done yet—I’ll be at the MCAA Michigan Mud Conference all weekend! Hope to see some of you there! #MCAA

Last day of studios. This unfinished project gives me a sense of pride for how far I've come for my first time stone carving. #stonecraving #sculpture #cat #limestone

Sometimes mistakes happen, in this case it's likely for the best. In earlier photos you can see that this phobia piece has a head. however, in loading into the kiln it was bumped into the side wall and broke. I will keep you updated on how I plan to finish this piece in the future. #art #ceramics
