Behind the Potter’s Wheel with Catherine Shope

“Growing up, I was always creative and loved art,” says Catherine Shope ’22. While at Reinhardt, Shope majored in studio art and pottery. “With pottery, your hands have direct contact with the medium, unlike other art forms. I like that I am in complete control of the clay and can direct it with my hands.”
