INTERNSHIPS
ANN SACKS:KOHLER
May, 2022
Completed the internship successfully, engaging in a range of learning activities in the manufacturing facility and office.Â
Over the course of 10 weeks, I completed a full cycle through every tile factory production workstation (forming, firing, glaze producing, spraying, grouting, and inspecting). During my tenure there, I created a whole new stoneware tile product from the ground up, from concept and digital design through mold-making and final manufacturing.Â
Also took the initiative to join in a number of other worthwhile initiatives, assisting our Chief Designer and Engineers.
MOUSE CERAMIC STUDIO
July, 2021
Location: Brooklyn, NewYork
I was responsible primarily for day-to-day operational concerns which are integral to the smooth running of the studio. These day-to-day tasks included loading bisque and glaze kilns, chiseling and washing shelves as well as rotating fired work. During this internship, I learned how to mix glazes from scratch and am familiar now with basic glaze chemistry and the foundation of different materials.

Assisted in the reclaim of clay (i.e. breaking down bone-dry clay, laying out mixed slurry onto plaster slabs, and wedging the recycled clay). My day-to-day to-dos included helping in organizing and maintaining raw materials for glaze mixing, assisting in loading or unloading work from the electric kiln, and also helping in mixing up a batch of Magic slip. Additionally, swept and mopped, disinfected, and wiped high-touch areas. On other days I helped to disinfect art supplies, sharpen pencils and assemble Art Kits for our Summer Campers.
