dc.descriptionThesis completed in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Fine Arts degree in the School of Art and Design at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, Alfred, NY.en_US
dc.description.abstractMy passion for ceramics was inspired by a wide range of possibilities on forms and surfaces to incorporate new ideas and fabrication techniques. The MFA Program at Alfred University has led me through the processes of pressure casting, 3D printing, extruding, laser machine etching, glass casting, and silkscreen ceramic decals. Exploring new experiences with materials and methods has guided my creativity toward multiple directions. My work includes tableware, jewelry, and furniture and, pursues ideas in objects with awareness of practical applications and aesthetic values. The primary objective in my MFA thesis was research for new potential in forms and surfaces to create an original result by combining the following: 1) traditional hand crafts + the use of machinery, 2) ceramics + other disciplines, and 3) cultural and technical perspectives in ceramics from the United States and Japan.en_US
