Ceramic Art
Is anyone a Ceramic artist or getting there?
I had numerous art classes trailing from middle school and took 3d art and ceramics in freshmen year of high school.
I like drawing but didn't truely enjoy art classes until I had ceramics.
Right now I'm taking classes to perpare for a career in computer graphics/mulitmedia and networking.
My only interest aside animation is ceramics, but it doesn't look like a promising pathway.
Can someone give me their personal experience studying/working as a Ceramic Artist?
Being a ceramic artist isn't that much different from being a painter or a sculptor...you have to get your work out there and LOTS of it. You have to be ready to enter any "call for entries", and enter as many competitions as possible. I sell most of my stuff through those venues, or I'm commissioned to produce something specific based on work that was shown. An artist is an entrepreneur, selling and marketing themselves. How successful you are really depends on how savvy a business person you are. Being gallery represented is not a bad idea either, however the going rate is 70% commission (but they file the taxes:)
