Virginia Scotchie’s ceramics student’s did an array of projects that now surround the UofSC McMaster School of Visual Art & Design. These pieces were intended to be temporary but have been permanently placed for several years.
One of the pieces includes a variety of small, delicate flowers placed on top of a stone henge. If you look closely, the details in each flower are very intricate and all different from one another.
The other creations were multiple balls that were created from the ceramic class that all had their own unique characteristic to them. One of the ball installations is placed in the front entrance of McMaster surrounding several flower beds & the Steel Sculpture in front of McMaster. The other ball installation was put on large strings that hand from multiple trees on the backside of McMaster right beside some handmade mosaic tables that a previous class created. This gives students a chance to surround themselves in an eclectic, whimsical, fun environment while studying, eating lunch, or just hanging out with public art around them.
