It also helped me see that I still have quite a lot to learn when it comes to owning a business.

They said during the meeting that when running a business, you always have to be dependable and quick to respond, which I'll admit I am good at neither of those things. It is something I will be sure to work on consistently as I move forward in my practice, but it will take a lot of time.

Another thing they said that stuck to me was "Be proud of your work, enthusiasm counts." I am very proud of my work, and I do love what I make, but it can be hard selling my own work to people. When it comes down to Joanna, or Sarah's work, I don't mind lifting it up and giving it all the attention, but that is something that is tricky to do for my own work.

All that being said. I am very glad we went to see their Gallery, and I feel I learned a lot from the experience. I will continue practicing talking about my work though.

She was very positive in the meeting and told us that as long as we have passion for our work, it will be okay. Natalie also gave the great advice that if we are ever meeting with a mentor/advisor for help on projects, bring them coffee! Honestly one of the best pieces of advice I have received. ]]> 2019-04-08 21:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/349725400 arcassa_hone https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/349727111 Throughout this class I have seen a few lectures, and all have them have shown me that everyone gets inspired by different things, and every artists process is different. That is something I have struggled with, somehow I always feel like since my process is my own, it can't be right. But I really just need to grab onto what I find beautiful and go ham. Especially when Janice said "Research comes before the Art." I couldn't agree more. ]]> 2019-04-08 22:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/349727111 arcassa_hone https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351878195 I finally finished editing the podcast and I've discovered editing is a lot harder than I thought it would be. And I had to record the whole thing twice because my phone wouldn't connect with my computer. 

Although it was a pain in the butt, I am really happy with how it came out. There is a bit of swearing in the blooper reel, but I feel like it goes with my aesthetic.]]> 2019-04-16 05:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351878195 arcassa_hone https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351881338 Kelsey's guest lecture was so well organized and put together! I'm really impressed with the way she engaged with the people in the room.

As for someone who is very knit-picky about the way she organizes things, I found the formatting of the powerpoint glorious. ]]> 2019-04-16 05:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351881338 arcassa_hone https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351882303 I feel like there are a lot of gifs in this, but I can't help myself. ]]> 2019-04-16 05:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351882303 arcassa_hone https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351883158 After making the podcast and listening to it over again, I am starting to think I might do more of them! I'm not too sure what I would talk about, but I could do an introduction podcast with just audio and then have a series of videos with commentary afterwards? I feel like it could be pretty interesting! I'll start brain storming and we will see what I come up with.]]> 2019-04-16 05:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351883158 arcassa_hone https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351883641 - Cream cheese.

Pots sticking to shelves, pots exploding, things cracking or breaking in the last few stages. That type of stuff.

-  Craft sales and markets vs Galleries and shops.]]> 2019-04-16 05:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351883662 arcassa_hone https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351884084 I want to do a series of videos of me going through all of the stages of making a pot. Starting at repurposing the clay, wedging it, throwing it and trimming it. When the piece is bone dry I want to put water in it and time lapse it dissolving.

For another video, I want to get a variety of different foods and attempt throwing a pot with it. Im thinking Ice cream and cream cheese for two of them. I'll have to make a list of food when I have a minute to sit and think about consistency and such.

One of the videos I am thinking of doing I'm not too sure about. I want to do a studio vlog type video where I show a full day of behind the scenes in the ceramic studio. And get everyone in the studio to say hello. That way people can see the artists behind the work that comes from the basement! 

Possibly going to do a stop motion of me hand building a pizza pipe or something geometric. I don't want that one to be too long though so it will have to be something small.

The last video I am thinking of doing is one that shows how to make a teapot all the way through. Including painting, waxing and glazing. At the end I want to show how long a piece actually takes. Or possibly have a timer built in? Not too sure about that one yet. Still workshopping it.]]> 2019-04-16 06:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/arcassa_hone/7bx5ei6k7whg/wish/351884084
