Today in class we were reminded of what few supplies we will need for this class- primarily lots of newprint and 2B conte crayons. We drew first one cardboard box then two cardboard boxes next to each other. The teacher circulated giving constructive criticism.


Studio Time – Ceramics

Although I am not the best at this subject, I am growing to like it better with my teacher’s encouragement. One of my students at OISE (this semester) has just sent me the link to her uncle’s work as a potter – look at his resume! He was at CTS 1970-73 and created his first pieces in Canada in the same studio we work in.
