JOSH NELSON is in the graduating Class of 2023 at Rice Lake High School. “I enjoy snowmobiling, being on the lake spending time with friends and family, and art. Making art is a very peaceful time for me and I like being creative. I enjoy watching a piece come together. When it comes to art, much of my inspiration comes from my family. My brother is really good at ceramics and I sometimes like to think of it as a competition. My sister is great at drawing and painting. My uncle is just amazing at all things art. He truly inspires me when it comes to art and taught me how to create a wire tree. My favorite ceramic technique is creating doughnuts on the wheel and then building sculptural pieces with them. My favorite tool to use is the rib. The most important thing that I have learned in ceramics is that when you are creating art, being perfect is imperfect. I hope to continue doing ceramics after high school.”

BRADEN THOMAS is also a member of the graduating Class of 2023 at Rice Lake High School. “I was born in Kansas City and moved to Wisconsin in 2010. I am a middle child with 2 sisters and a bunch of step siblings. Leather working is my favorite medium for creating art but I also enjoy woodworking and ceramics. I don’t really tend to be inspired by many things and usually just go with the flow when creating. Throughout the years I have learned many things about art. I have learned that it is a fantastic way to show how you feel towards a situation or even a person. This is something that I typically have a difficult time with, but my artwork often shows how I think or feel about something or someone.”
