About me
Hello, my name is Corinna, I’m currently a ceramist in a dental laboratory and a part time nail artist.
I absolutely adore working with clay. I love sculpting and although I’ve only been doing it for a short time I’d like to take it further than my weekly evening class.
I live with my ever supportive partner and 2 children who are 9 and 11. I’ve always been creative and have indulged in many creative hobbies such as needle felting, crochet, stained glass, mosaics, and painting to name a few.
Why clay?
Clay is such an expressive material. It’s a hobby for many to relax and create whatever their mind can dream up.
Currently I’ve been sculpting dogs. My original project was to make an urn for my dogs ashes. I then started sculpting other breeds. I’d love to start a business for selling my creations. I would then aim to start classes for children.
I believe children benefit greatly from creative play. Putting screens down for a while and creating sculptures in clay. A chance to meet other children who enjoy the same creativity. I’d like to set up a business of offering classes to home schooled children with the further goal of taking clay back into schools.
What do I need the money for?
The main thing I will need for this goal is a kiln. Despite saving up I am still a long way from obtaining a kiln.
I’d ideally like to buy a Skutt KMT1027. It would need to be big enough to fire many pieces made by my students ready for the next class.
I would initially start to sell my own pieces which are mainly dog sculptures , this would create capital to rent a space to hold the classes and supply materials . I would then bring those pieces home to fire in the kiln and return them in the next class to glaze or paint.
Rewards
In exchange for your donations I’d like to offer some of my creations as rewards. These will be complete when I obtain the kiln due to my community kiln only allowing work made in class to be fired. Take a look at the rewards section to see if there’s anything you like.
Thank you
I’d like to thank you all for reading this far and for being interested in my little dream. I appreciate any donations however big or small. You are a part of making my vision come true.
I can’t wait to see where it will take me.
