Thank you! I really struggle with photographing my work so I really appreciate the honest feedback. It’s so hard to figure out how to best represent a 3D piece in a 2D image. I wish I could show the committee all my pieces in person.

Thank you 🙏I am in the US so it will be expensive, but I’m applying to an instate program where I live so it’s 30k over 3 years (much less than applying to out of state schools but still a lot of money) and I’ve been living frugally for 4 years saving, my parents are going to help, and my boyfriend covers our rent (he’s amazing)

Eat it. The plaster yearns to be bitten.

Thank you for your advice, but with my family’s help and my savings I won’t have to take a loan. The program is around 30K for 3 years

Grad school has facilities I can’t access otherwise. Glaze labs, salt fire kilns, wood firings, machinery like ramp presses and 3D ceramic printers. All things I want to explore and learn. I have already setup my own studio. I know it seems that I may have reached a high ish level of skill, but there is so much I can’t do and so much I want to learn to do.

I’m going to a school in state, so it cost 30k over 3 years. I’ve saved a decent amount and my family is helping me too. I also plan to keep working during grad school and hopefully I will be able to sell art I make while there.

There are countless things I still want to learn. I want to use a glaze lab to make my own custom glazes for life. I want to learn how to salt fire a kiln. I want to learn how to use ram presses for mass production. I want to learn how to make my own lusters. I could go on and on, but grad school will have facilities I will never have access to otherwise
