OT: Sooo, I went on a couple of sites today and ordered a bunch of art books....some history, some clay handbuilding books. My teacher paid me some huge compliments Saturday - don't know if he's just BSing me or he's sincere, but he's getting really excited about the sculpture I'm doing. He wants me to put some pieces in the gallery at the art center :sohappy: . I said something about looking into schooling options for myself (non art related), so I can help out with future expenses, and he asked why my art couldn't do that :eek: . I think he really thinks my work could have a market. I'm stunned...

That's really great Jenny - finding your niche, and then realizing that you could make a living at it is awesome!

I'm having a hard time believing it, I guess. I was raised to think of things like art as something to have a hobby at, but you can't feed your family with it, so it's better to have a background in a marketable field.When I went to college after high school, my major was accounting. After taking art history, I expanded to a double major of business and art history. I HATED the business classes, and went through a period of uncertainty of what I wanted to do, so when my fiance graduated, I took a break from school - I knew I wanted to marry DH, but that was about it at the time. Now I'm in my mid-thirties and realizing if I worked at a 'traditional' job I would go postal. I still have to change my whole mindset, but a career as a potter would be tremendously exciting.

I'm excited for you. I know what you mean about artsy careers though, and we're still in the midst of it with DS. He'd really love to major in music in college and spend his life just playing his music, but the practical side of me really wants him to set a different goal for himself, and just keep his music on the back burner as a hobby.
