Caroline has been interested in pottery for a very long time. I think the first time she experienced it and got hooked was several years ago at the Springville Art Museum kids art festival. She was just mesmerized by the clay and the wheel. There were lots of different kinds of art the kids could participate in set up on the grounds around the museum. She stayed at the pottery station all day. She stood by the potter and asked question after question about everything he was doing. By the end of the day, she had worked her way into a position as the potters assistant. She was running to the truck to get more clay, cutting it into pieces, molding it into the right shapes to be ready for the wheel, and handing him tools to make each creation. Since then, she has taken classes at the Scera, and in Jr High and High school. She is meticulous and very creative. The ceramics class was full when we went to register her last year for classes. I went in to the teacher and convinced her Caroline was someone she wanted in her class. She proved herself to be one of the top students in the class. Here she is in a picture taken at the Alpine School District art show. Orem High was allowed to enter 5 pieces of 3D art and her coil pot was chosen as one of the pieces to enter. Awesome job for a Sophomore! Isn't it a cool pot? We are sure proud of her talent and accomplishments!
