.Ceramics @ IUE

Here are some snapshots of the vase I’m working on in my ceramics class with Brandown McFadden :]

The class is from 1230 – 4 which gives us plenty of time to work  and we can come in throughout the week to work.

I got alot done today and I’m happy so far.

There are a few things I love about Ceramics.

1. Free Coffee

2. Weekly volunteers for snacks

3. Music playing while we work
