I have finally gotten my clay studio set up in my garage, complete with my new kickwheel, clay, reclaim buckets, throwing tools, and plenty of natural sunlight (pictured below is my dad trimming part of the rod that connects the two wheels). I am still working out how to throw on this new wheel and create pieces that are evenly thrown. I have been making sketches of patterns I want to use on some new pieces as well as drawing different forms I want to experiment with. I also attempted coil building because I enjoy the texture flat coils create, however I have always struggled with coil building, so I want to figure out how to make something look like it has been coil built.

I have also kept working on my colored pencil drawing series and hope to complete them digitally with poetry that goes along with each part. I really have enjoyed doing research about the work that I am making about fruit and women in society.
