Sculpture For Hopelink
Emily Chen, a senior at the International School in Bellevue, recently unveiled her completed senior project: a 3-dimensional ceramic tile sculpture for the food bank in Hopelink's Kirkland center.
Emily first took a ceramics class from the Kirkland Arts Center. With the educational director at the Kirkland Arts Center, Myra Kaha, as
her mentor, Emily set to work designing the piece, pounding out the clay onto a three-foot by five-foot backing, molding the clay into the
fruits, vegetables and other elements on the sculpture, cutting the sculpture into separate tiles, glazing it, firing it, then hanging it.
Hopelink clients and staff are impressed by Emily's talent and admire the piece every day.
Thank you, Emily!
