Work History

Processing Manager in Training

The Ceramics Studio
2024.08 - Current

Studio Assistant:

  • Greet customers and make them feel welcome
  • Provide instruction and advice on glazing and/or glass fusing
  • Keep the studio clean on a day-to-day basis

Processing Manager:

  • Carefully and neatly dip customer pieces in clear glaze to ready them for firing
  • Load and fire ceramics and glass kilns
  • Recognize damage, and repair pieces after firing
  • Repair kilns when needed
  • Sort and file pieces once they are ready to go home
  • Bisque fire handmade pieces

My time here:

I started at The Ceramic Studio as a studio assistant, where I gained a love for helping people make art. Seeing all of the meaningful, memorable, or even silly pieces people from my community can make, makes me so happy.

After a couple of months my boss, the owner, said that she had noticed my attention to detail and how much I loved seeing the finished product. She offered to have our former kiln tech show me how to do the behind the scenes process, which I accepted. Three months later I was asked to train to be our Processing Manager, and that's where I am now. I still work on improving my speed and technique every day, no one is perfect. I occasionally help out on the floor too, so I still get customer interaction.
