Englazed: The Science of Ceramics

Year Completed: 2017

This project involved a display of the physics and chemistry behind the practice of ceramics and experimental exploration of glaze creation at the St. Olaf Ceramics studio. It was created over three months for the senior St. Olaf Studio Art thesis requirement, where I interwove my physics and artistic backgrounds into a composite presentation of both experimental, graphic, and 3 dimensional work.
