Personal Wheel and Tools - Asava Made Pottery
Dear Beautiful World,
I started doing pottery in college and fell in love with it. There is something magical about molding vessels and sculptures with my own hands. This practice provides creative stimulation which help improve my holistic well being. It teaches me patience. It is therapeutic. It is an indescribable feeling knowing that the pottery piece that I made will have a home with an amazing person, a family member, friend, colleague, fellow artist, youth or community member. When asked the question what do I love to do? What do I see myself waking up and doing everyday? My answer is pottery. If it isn’t pottery it is hand building. If it isn’t hand building, it is carving my visions. After long hours spent in the ceramic studio I dreamed about having my own wheel and space to do my work. My dream is to wake up in my art studio as my primary space.
In Spring 2018, I am graduating from San Francisco State University with a BA in Ceramics. I won’t have access to my school studio and would like to work towards building my own studio at home. I would like to have access to my own pottery wheel and tools so that I can continue my ceramic practice. I am fundraising mainly for my first personal pottery wheel, but am shooting to have enough money for my own home kiln and slab roller. For now while working for my own space, I can at least have my own pottery wheel. This way I can do work straight from my personal space. My future career goal is creating a ceramic space in community spaces that I am involved with and beyond. Once I graduate I will continue doing pottery and ceramics, and look for work that involves disadvantaged communities in the Bay Area, California, and hopefully reach as far as rural villages.
