The ceramic classes that I encountered in college allowed me to develop my same realism in the details of creating organic flowers and architecture (as seen in the Brooklyn Bridge shoe) and telling a story in the 5 blocks of clay. I am considering purchasing a kiln to return to those clay creations again.
