Welcome back to part 2 on our journey to “carve-out” the mysterious and jaw-dropping hobbies of 1A, so put your hands together and witness work that will leave an “imprint!” This month we’re featuring another hidden talent by our very own 1A student Hannah Jaglarz, as she walks us through her print-making art, and how she turned a hobby into something more. “My hobby is art, more specifically printmaking. I started this summer over quarantine. In my high school art class, we were supposed to do printmaking but Covid-19 happened, and I didn’t end up getting the chance to try. I was bored over the summer...
Ever wonder what kind of life students have outside of the studio? When we’re not being drowned by deadlines, what do we choose to do to fulfill our life? Perhaps some beautiful calligraphy, or even running a small business? We know someone who accomplishes both. This month, we’re unearthing this inconspicuous hobby of a 1A student – Michael Salib! “I think words are so beautiful; and also for me, I try to have a lot of art as well,...

Their philosophy was simple, students should be able to live in and build the forms that symbolize their environment. At the core of the...
“I’d always painted before school, and for my interview to get into Waterloo actually, I brought in some of my paintings. There’s something very cool about doing something with your hands, there’s a freedom that I feel gets lost a lot from projects that we do at school sometimes. The focus is on the technology — sometimes you might find that when you’re designing something in your head, you’re limiting yourself to what Rhino can do,...
What’s something that’s been inspiring you recently? “One thing that I’ve noticed inspires me most is watching people make things without knowing what they’re doing. Basically, taking on a project having no idea what the outcome is going to be, and it turns out to be something extraordinary. It doesn’t necessarily have to be beautiful, but the experience of taking something on like that for the first time is, I find, very inspiring. When I do...
What are some things you’ve noticed while you’ve been here for thirteen years, anything you find stays the same or something that’s changed? “Well, mainly that there are a lot more students now then there were in the beginning.
