I am currently in school for my BFA in ceramics. I know that there are a few jobs such as selling your own product and working in museums that you can do with that degree. I‘m dong a project in one of my classes where we have to find 10 different jobs for our majors and my question is, what else is out there? Are there any careers that focus on tea pots, or maybe something that deals with import and export from other countries. What else could a BF in ceramics get me?
Fired? She can't be fired. She can be impeached if she commits a crime. Stupidity is not a crime, unfortunately. She can be voted out, but her district is in the heart of San Francisco, so her constituency is for the most part, loonier than she is.
Besides selling your work or teaching ceramics, which is what I do, here are a few things my friends and others do: --Making molds (plaster, etc.) for artists --Studio technician (firing kilns, making glazes) for art centers, schools or small ceramic businesses --Opening your own business: paint your own pottery or kids art center --Working at a museum -- outreach educational programs --Administrative jobs at an art center or craft center -- Program Director, Education Director, Gallery Manager and with experience, Executive Director --Working in retail at a gallery --Model making for films and commercials --Glaze, firing or studio consultant for clients who want to set up their own studio --Manufacturing -- small ceramic businesses -- decorating, throwing, fabricating pots by jiggering, etc. That's just to start. You can be creative and take it further. Hope this helps.
Even an ID 10 T in this country has freedom of speech.
Well, making your living solely off of pottery as an independent artist is difficult. Most artists need side jobs to fuel their passion. My ceramics teacher has got a job teaching pottery, so he doesn't make pottery for a living, he just makes stuff during class for the heck of it. My father was once an artist and he needed his side job as a mechanic, but he never got famous even though he was quite awesome, so don't put all hopes in one thing (not to be a downer). Try dropping by a college with a ceramics program and try speaking to the instructor, that would be the best possible person to ask.
