Roughly one year ago.

Last year around this time I felt unmotivated and defeated in school and when I went to sign up for classes I decided to take one that I knew would be hard to fail, ceramics.  I had never taken ceramics and never considered myself to be very good at art, and my teacher who knew my reputation actually suggested that I drop the class because it was deceptively demanding.  

Fortunately I stayed in the class and quickly developed a love for clay and found it easy and fun to create full characters with my work.  I gained a new confidence in myself and this gave me a new enthusiasm in my life.  I am so happy that I took ceramics and found a genuine passion and love for it.  In honor of my (roughly) one year journey I am reposting my very first full sized face jugs!

Don’t be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.

Devil cup that I made. It was supposed to be a cup set, but I broke the bottom half.
