Within Sacred Hearts Academy, our curiosity about the artistic ceramics class and how active they are currently, has led us to an inside interview with senior Lilith Davis. Davis joined the ceramics class to explore a new form of art. She thought it would be easy but soon realized it was more challenging than expected. Shaping clay required patience and skill, and while she’s still working on that, Davis says that she still found enjoyment in the process.

The class had a cozy atmosphere with just the right number of students—not too many, not too few. Davis encourages other students to take ceramics if they enjoy the idea of a creation of their own and don’t mind getting their hands messy. For her, it was a rewarding way to express herself through art.

Cayley Lum another student within Ceramics had started the class due to advision, but later on wanted to continue this form of art. When it came to the attention of the amount of people in the class, she had stated that she preferred smaller and emptier classes. Along with being less chaotic, although the class itself is chaotic. In regards to other people considering ceramics as a class, she mainly focused on the fear factor of just beginning. Saying that fear is something to get past, especially if ceramics is something that you aspire to do.

Although the Ceramics class may seem small and empty at times, the ambition and passion has developed to fill the rest of the room. As they’re open and welcoming but focused and determined. An art class that is considered an art in itself, a mess that creates beauty in ways that weren’t considered before. This is the Ceramics class at its finest.
