The studio is really a bustling place. There is so much going on every day. It is really amazing to be a part of. During our time here the studio is in the formative stage so there are kilns being built, ware carts being made, and pots are filling those carts. One of the benefits is having all these professionals around to work with and beside. We may not be able to speak English but we are able to communicate about ceramics. It is a really interesting thing. Here you can see Noel a recently new graduate student at West Virginia University getting some trimming instruction from the Trimmer. He doesn't speak English but is very patient and willing to help anyone who wants to dry trim.
