Ceramic artist Jen Allen!

Hey guys! Today I thought I would talk a little bit about what I am doing in my ceramics class! We studied an artist, and her name in Jen Allen. She came in to visit us, and did a demonstration on how she makes some of her pieces, needless to say it was really cool! She uses very soft colors for her glazes and she depicts such intricate detail to all of her pieces. She says it takes her longer to glaze than to actually make the piece. Our project in class is called "Being Jen Allen" So basically we are trying to create pieces like her. We are not copying her but we are adding some of her techniques to our own pieces, to create a whole new style! I am super psyched to be a part of this class, and I already started making some really cool pieces. Until next time, Peace, Love, and VPA! =)
