of a potter molding a clay mug, the material cause is the clay, the basic matter that is the subject of the change. As the clay undergoes the process of being molded, it is being made into a specific shape that has specific functions. This shape and function is called the form or formal cause of the object. In this case, the clay is changing into the form of a mug that is purposed to hold liquids. It should be noted that material is never without form. Before the clay was changed into the form

The first time I experienced clay in depth was in my first ceramics class in college. This is where I spent hours of my time in the studio exploring. After my first soda firing, I knew that I wanted to start a career in clay. I am applying to the master’s program in ceramics to extend my knowledge of clay and to further develop my conceptual thought. Much of my time was spent in the studio during my time in college. My professor, Nick Roudebush, saw this drive and hired me as the head studio assistant

these stories varies greatly in their content and meaning. By studying them, much can be learned about the African people of the present and past. The Shilluks of the Nile region, for example, tell a story in which humankind is fashioned out of clay.

Love for Ceramics As a young child, my parents founded Mystic Acres Kennels, a kennel that resides on our property and is run by my family. My earliest memories are playing at the desk in the kennel, waiting to greet dogs as they entered. To distract me when large dogs came in, my mom had a constant supply of playdough, a toy which provided endless entertainment. I found myself, building and creating anything that I could get my hands on. The ideas would flow endlessly. My journey into the magnificent

It is found in our kitchens in the forms of plates and bowls, in living rooms as vases and planting pots and decorations.
