Student Profiles
Phillippa Howell
BA Student
Ceramics Single Honours, part-time, Year 2
"At this level I have negotiated with my tutor the practical work I am undertaking
this term. It will be large scale work, possibly site specific, encompassing ideas
about time, progress, evolution, the human condition and circles of life.
I am
researching my subject matter by studying the significance of historic and contemporary
artefacts, eg sundials, timepieces and milestones and also larger scale monuments,
eg the pyramids and Stonehenge. I am also gaining theoretical and visual information
from studying the evolution of the earth and human technological advancement.
I am
using drawings and maquette to explore my ideas before embarking on the full-size work."
The Department
"I have found the ceramics course very stimulating. I enjoy the many visiting ceramists, with whom I have been able to discuss my work. However, I think the greatest strength of the department is the almost unlimited contact time we have with lecturers, who provide support and encouragement when needed."
After College
"When my course ends, I am hoping to continue working in ceramics. Eventually I would like to return to Christ Church to study for an MA."
