tomorrow i leave for watershed! i’m really excited to spend two weeks working with new people, and good friends. i’m ready for new experiences. i’ve spent three weeks at my summer internship but now it’s time for a two week break. my internship has been awesome! i do a lot of little random things but i’m learning so much. i’ve been to first friday meetings and i’m learning about how to engage the public with local artists. i’m learning how a studio works, watching from within to see how the community within the studio functions. i can tell it’s so much work, there are so many smalls things, and big things to worry about. it all comes along in the end though. the community of potters within the studio i’m at are all so wonderful. i can’t wait to go to watershed and come back and work at the studio and make my own work. it feels good to be learning and doing so much.

Rimas VisGirda’s makes wheel-thrown, hand built and sculpted slab work, with a surface decoration that is rampant with scenes from daily and social life and physical surroundings. Often his paintings are satiric commentaries on life. the work intself tends to have a “comic book” look.
Perhaps best known for his plates,
“VisGirda slab builds his plate forms from a terra cotta body. Following a pencil outline, he brushes on underglazes then applies wax to the entire surface. He redraws the figure and the outer border by scratching through the wax and into the clay surface and then inlays liquid black underglaze into the scratched lines. After bisque firing to cone 05, he waxes the figure portion and outer edge again but leaves the background alone. After sketching in flowers with a pencil, he applies underglazes to the flowers, leaves and stems and further defines them with black underglaze. He applies wax over the flower stems and leaves then sponges blue underglaze onto the background. After firing to cone 5, he adds shading with an underglaze pencil then fire to cone 3.” -Ceramics Art Daily

during my final critique today i was thinking about all of the different processes and styles that i’ve explored throughout this school year. i’d have to say i’m happy i tried so many different things and that i came so far. i think i’m really finding something out about myself and my work, which i’m really stoked for. i can’t wait to see what happens this summer and how i can prepare myself for next school year when i’m back in the studio.
final critiques in the morning. 9-12 then friday 10-12:40.
i made a cake for tomorrow. i can’t believe i’ll be a senior next year.
