BFA Review-- The Big Day.

Hey, when is the last time you had a scary interview? Years? Haha, well I have one today. I'm not sure that I'm completely ready... I don't have specific answers to give them-- because I want to study so many different things in ceramics still. Today is the BFA review. I am ready for the title and I am ready for the space, but am I ready for the focus? I have no idea. I know that I want to keep studying functional forms and stretching functionality and artistic appeal to the limit. I know that I want to keep working with slip transfer and celadon glazes... and I know that I love salt firing and I have a deep interest in the wood firing process but I don't know if I am ready to wood fire alone just yet. The cat was a fairly reasonable kiln to fire, but I would have to think about it more before pursuing a solo mission. I know that I want to keep making teapots and cups, and I am interested in bottles and adding sculptural elements to functional pots. I know what I am interested in, but the variety is so vast that I don't know where to start. I am taking teapots and cups and mugs and bottles with me today, and I have some sculptures at the studio that I will use for review. I think it will just be an interview with one person and not both Dan Murphy and John Neely. Now THAT would be intimidating :D They are both nice guys, but an interview with both of them would be intense. Hopefully I can keep it together and not get nervous... but knowing my personality I will probably start shaking or something when I try to explain my vague ideas. Today is a big day. I have to tackle it with pride. Wish me luck ;)
