| Spencer throwing for a demo video. |
Today I had a chance to sit down and
talk with our interns. Oh, yes! We have interns. Kevin and Spencer
have been interning with us during the month of May. Kevin and
Spencer have been in the ceramics program at Conestoga High School
for four years and mostly focus in throwing functional work. They
were recommended to intern at The Ceramic Shop by their teacher to
get a better idea of how a business in ceramics might work. Their
internship here will help them to better understand the art world and
to see if it seems like a plausible career path.
So far, they have found working at The
Ceramic Shop to be fun and engaging. I asked the boys what their
favorite things where to do here. Spencer has enjoyed working with
Tracy on making the HydroBats. He liked learning the process of
making products, which is an experience The Ceramic Shop can give to
him because we produce so many different items. Kevin has like
helping make demonstration videos for our website and YouTube
channel. The tool demonstration videos they have been making will be
up on our YouTube channel soon!
Spencer and Kevin will be going away to
college after they finish their internships with us. Kevin will be
attending University of Colorado and Spencer will be going to the
University of Ohio. Both Kevin and Spencer will be studying business
with a minor in ceramics. They are hoping to maybe start their own
businesses or even take their ceramics to the next level. Everyone
at The Ceramic Shop wishes them the best. We've really enjoyed
having them around.
