View to a Kiln<\/p>\n

Catherine Elliott \u201912 is a ceramicist who creates bowls that are both beautiful and usable. She forms her vessels on a kick wheel, one at a time.<\/p>\n

A double major in studio art and politics, Elliott witnessed different approaches to ceramics work during the winter of 2011, when she lived and worked with an organization of potters in China. Case in point: The \u201cDragon Kiln,\u201d a giant installation that she photographed on a hill just outside of Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China.<\/p>\n

The \u201cDragon Kiln\u201d is a giant installation that Catherine Elliott ’12 photographed on a hill just outside of Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China.<\/p><\/div>\n

Elliott\u2019s photograph above, as well as the two below, were included in the 2012 Barlow Off-Campus Study Photography Exhibition<\/em>. This photo also depicts the kiln\u2019s tenders, who, she explains, \u201cspend hours crouched at the side of the kiln, feeding the flames.\u201d (Perhaps the proximity to the heat has something to do with their choice of watermelon as refreshment.)<\/p>\n

The program incorporated community service that entailed frequent sessions volunteering in primary schools. The sessions weren\u2019t all work, as the visitors often went
\n\u201cjust to play with the kids,\u201d Burke says.<\/p>\n

Keyless Entry<\/h3>\n

Visiting Paris during the winter 2011 semester under the auspices of the Center for University Programs Abroad, photographer Olivia DaDalt \u201812 was captivated by this scene (below).<\/p>\n

Olivia DaDalt \u201812 photographed this scene at the Pont de l\u2019Archev\u00each\u00e9, one of at least three Parisian bridges where romantic couples like to attach so-called love locks.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Pont de l\u2019Archev\u00each\u00e9 is one of at least three Parisian bridges where romantic couples like to attach so-called love locks, or love padlocks, to symbolize their undying love. Writing their names on the locks, the lovers fix them to the bridge fencing and toss the keys into the Seine. (Perhaps more jaded couples favor combination locks.) In the background of DaDalt\u2019s image is Notre Dame Cathedral.<\/p>\n
