Sara Kreisel ’07 (North Bellmore, N.Y.) is exhibiting her pottery at the Williams Center for the Arts and trying to organize a pottery club and studio.
The art has been displayed in glass cases in the Williams Center lobby since Oct. 9 and will remain through Thanksgiving. The exhibition is sponsored by the Arts Society.
Kreisel has been creating pottery “religiously” since starting in summer 2002 at a camp in New Milford, Conn., when she decided to make it the concentration of her Advanced Placement art portfolio. She accomplished this by working between six and 40 hours per week at Hofstra University from that summer to the past one.
“My concentration concerned manipulating thrown miniature pottery in functional manners, while creating a playful tone to my work,” she says. “I used miniatures as goblet stems, decoration, handles, spouts, chess pieces, chopstick rests, necklace pendants, and candlestick holders, among other things. Pottery has been my outlet for creative design.”
Kreisel plans to pursue a B.S. in biology and B.A. in art. She hopes to found the pottery club and studio “to expose other students to the art I have immersed myself in and so much enjoy.” Those interested in joining the club can sign up on the wall opposite the Williams Center box office.
Kreisel is a member of Hillel Society, Concert Choir, Madrigal Singers, Hispanic Society of Lafayette, Arts Society, Biology Club, and Equestrian Club.
The three glass cases in the Williams Center lobby run about six feet wide, two feet long, and nine inches deep. Students willing to have their art displayed should contact art and psychology double major Julie Phelan ’05 (Westfield, N.J.).
