University students use their ceramics skills to make hand made pottery pieces to raise funds for the art program as part of The Ceramic Artist Student Association’s bi-annual Ceramic Art and Pottery Sale. The sale will be held each day this week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Thursday.
The pottery sale helps the association buy new equipment as well as raise funds for students to attend the national conference for education in the ceramic arts, as well as an on-campus visiting artists program, according to the University art and design website. The Ceramic Artist Student Association has no set monetary goal for the fundraising sale.
Fifth year art major Joelle Ferrara, who had several pieces in the pottery sale, said the fundraising event helps build a sense of community with students in the ceramics and sculpture program.
“Any and everybody can put their artwork in, so it’s a really good community builder,” she said.
Ferrara said the sale offers a wide range of pieces that vary from simple to elaborate pottery.
“It’s really nice to see the mix of pieces in the pottery sale each semester,” she said.
Senior Arts Ceramic major Catherine Velascquez has been helping with the fundraiser since her sophomore year and said it is nice for the community to see artwork that is hand made. She said the sale helps her slow down and enjoy the work that she is doing.
“[We’ve] all taken so much time into every single one of these pots,” she said.
Nutrition senior Christy Kogos said she has attended the pottery sale for the past three semesters. She said that she specifically enjoys the different colors and shapes that the pottery pieces have.
“It’s not something that you can find anywhere,” she said. “This is really unique stuff, and [I] definitely want to support the local artist.”
