the relaxing environment that the class was. It felt like almost a class off, even though I was consistently doing work. The work just didn't feel like work which was a first for me and a big reason as to why I really enjoyed the class as a whole. Actually seeing your time and efforts showing up in a project is really rewarding.

During this project, I realized the importance of sticking with it, even if you think it is bad. Originally, I had a pretty bland design and was not feeling too great about the outcome of my project, but, I decided to erase that design and do dragons. This enhanced the look of my project and turned it into something I was proud of.

My advice for future ceramics students is to take your time and go with the flow. So many people try and make their projects perfect, and I think that is where things start to fall apart. If you made a mistake, that's fine, you're human. But, go with the mistake. If you make a mistake, work with it and make it a part of your project. Not everything is always going to go perfectly according to plan, so don't expect it to. As an example, I messed up my design on my large coil vessel, and thought it was unsalvageable. But, I pivoted, found a way to work with the mistake, and it turned into one of my best projects from this semester. Being flexible is honestly the best attribute you can have in this class.

This was the first project I made in ceramics, I learned the importance of time and care and a understanding of how to do things. There were many things that I didn't know how to do when making my first animal, but it helped to create a baseline to show my improvement.

I chose horsehair firing for this piece. I actively participated in the firing process by adding the horsehair and being outside during the firing. I really enjoyed this unique firing because it was something I had never done before. I especially enjoyed how the hair stuck because of the heat. I just thought the overall process of the firing was cool and unique.

During this project, I realized the importance of the usability of my projects. When I could actually use them and have a reason to have them, it added to the allure of actually making the project.

I wanted to make a general copy of Randall Boggs from Monster Inc. with a few of my own unique twists. I achieved this through time and effort and many different sketches and references.
