Ceramics Photo Dump

I have a lot of things that I could post about here, but I will start with a photo dump of my ceramics. Everyone in the class made a ton of stuff this semester, so Inomata-sensei had us choose around 10 of our better pieces to put on a display from Wednesday to Friday for everyone to look at. I had a lot of other pieces that I liked, but here are pictures of the pieces I chose and the rest of the exhibition. Kansai Gaidai has 2 different types of art classes, ceramics and sumi-e (traditional brush painting). I am glad that I took ceramics (if just so that I could have a class with Inomata-sensei), but sumi-e looks really fun, and I hope someday I will have a chance to try it.

Enjoy! (As always, click on pictures for a larger view.)
