CES - Ava '24
I Am Not An Artist
When she arrived at Millbrook in 2021, Ava didn’t believe she had an “art brain” and wasn’t looking forward to fulfilling Millbrook’s arts requirement.
An introductory art class changed everything when hands-on time in the ceramics studio became a passion and a respite from her intense academic schedule. Ava’s inspired CES melded her newfound passion for ceramics with her lifelong love of the Spanish language and culture. Focusing on ceramic styles from four Hispanic regions of the world, Ava researched the history and techniques of Aztec, Incan, Mayan, and Majolica pottery and created beautiful examples of each.
