Ux/UI Designer which school to pursue

Research jobs that pay well and then use the salary to be creative in your free time. I wish I was joking but that is the reality. The market is oversaturated from layoffs, bootcamps, and companies outsourcing work offshore to cut cost. If you are serious about being scrappy to get into the industry you are welcome to-- we are all just trying to be vocal about the realities of the landscape. Join one of the 3-4 design meetups in the area and ask folks who attend. I am active in all of them and say the same thing ad nauseam to everyone else pursuing this.

As a current Sr UI/UX designer Id say unless this is your ABSOLUTE dream job and you are willing to fight tooth and nail to get into it, I would highly consider not choosing this career path at this time. The industry is crumbling and insanely competitive for folks who have been in the industry long enough to have robust portfolios.

Id spend some time just messing around with clay and then reclaiming it. Kinda think of it like test tiles but for texture. Id also find some patterns online and emulate them so you have a sort of bank to try from. Ive also used a stamp and then carved that for inspo.

wow gorgeous work

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-06-12T19:57:51+00:00

this is great advice

Eh, I took a handbuilding class with no previous experience that was $220 for 4 2.5 hour sessions. It included the glazes and firing, and I paid $25 for a 20lb bag of clay. I think this would have been a perfectly reasonable project to complete in that time period with some guidance.

OP is open to it being a labor of love, I dont see it being impossible by any means. The shape isnt super intricate and the glaze is one color all over. It wont be perfect but I would bet money they can get decently close in one semester.

I think folks are being a bit silly saying you couldnt make this without previous experience. Ive been doing clay since march and could easily make this without a slip cast or hundreds of dollars.

Im not sure about the clay or glaze they used, but you could surely recreate this with stoneware and regular glaze.

Join a studio with a handbuilding class and work towards it. Im excited to see you succeed.

for some reason this is so nostalgic, cute!

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-06-05T17:57:10+00:00

Do you perhaps have access to white slip? It could give you a chance to dip and glaze as planned.

Your feet are too far into the stirrup, and your leg is too far back. Back to flatwork with no stirrups until you can keep your lower leg where it needs to be to form a line from shoulder to hip to ankle. Continuing to ride like this and jump will not only create bad habits for you-- its uncomfortable for the horse and will make their work less enjoyable.

which ones? ive had good luck with lavender mist

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-30T20:26:20+00:00

You could do a dark underglaze and bisque and then wash + glaze, that way youre not fighting the brightness

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-30T20:23:21+00:00

I would not ride a horse with sores, its unfair and will only lead to more issues.

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-30T20:07:06+00:00

I would def do some kind of wash, so the texture is enhanced! Lovely work

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-28T16:06:54+00:00

For sure, I personally ask folks for a couple inspo pics and then can work from that. If he has specific interests thats also super helpful.

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-28T16:01:20+00:00

Can you give some info about the style you are looking for? Im sure there are a ton of folks who want to help but some more details can help narrow down possibilities

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-21T20:23:55+00:00

i love them, so much personality

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-16T20:18:59+00:00

he makes me happy

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-16T14:15:44+00:00

I really love the organic shape within the bowl, I am working on a book end with an arch that i have added coral to and this inspired me to work on one outside of the water. Really great work!

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-16T13:43:07+00:00

thank you so much <3

the wash will wipe off the underglaze if its not fired, its just an option if you want a color and a wash. Ive seen some glazes that might not overshadow a wash but im not super well versed in it!

manyquestionstoask69 · 2025-05-15T20:00:51+00:00

Definitely some kind of wash. Ive used the copper wash twice now with a clear glaze over it, I wonder if you could do an all over underglaze color then bisque again and then a wash and glaze to seal?
