For my Externship experience I will be interning at The Hot Spot in liberty station. I am Interning with my friends Kimi and Hannah. The Hot Spot is a store where you can paint ceramics, make candles, or create potters for succulents and flowers. I am super excited to learn all about glazing ceramics and using the kiln. The employees are super nice and teach us how to do everything they do in the store. I am a little nervous about using the kiln because it is so hot and not following the specific process of working with it could mess up a customers art work.
Today I actually got to learn how to make a candle and package them for the customer. We were allowed to first assemble our own candles then we took them to the back and melted them down and added our own toppings like glitter and different shaped wax pieces. I am excited for tomorrow because one of our mentors Allie is going to teach us how to glaze ceramics for the kiln.
