Artist StatementI made three Christmas lanterns for this year’s Winter Art. This winter as we entered November, I was so excited for Christmas. Christmas is a big deal for my family with hosting the Christmas dinner and occasionally a Christmas party. So, I decided to make lanterns to serve as cherry decorations for my house. I browsed the web for inspiration and found two images that really had the form, pattern, and variety that I wanted to incorporate into my lanterns. I tied together these elements in the way I wanted it to represent. During process of making my lanterns, I used several different techniques like carving shaping, and adding a handle.
End of the year videoWhat a great first year of ceramics! I have learned so much this semester and I can't believe how much I have improved. I am so excited to continue ceramics next year and broaden my knowledge and learn new techniques.
