FROM THE HEAD’S DESK

From the Head’s Desk As my time at Park Tudor comes to a close, I have taken a moment to reflect on my experience here. While I certainly never anticipated leading the school through a global pandemic, I will look back fondly on my years here. I am proud of our accomplishments, and give a heartfelt “thank you” to the talented administrators, faculty and staff that have helped Park Tudor to successfully navigate a challenging period.

Some highlights: • Increasing enrollment from a low of 875 during the 2018-2019 school year to nearly 950 today.

• Executing the “Build Possibility” Capital Campaign - the most successful campaign in Park Tudor’s history. To-date, the campaign has raised more than $23 million.

• Building and opening the beautiful new Irsay Family Sports Center for Health and Wellness, bringing an enhanced wellness curriculum and improved experience for all of our students, JK–grade 12.

• Successfully earning our re-accreditation from the Independent School Association of the Central States (ISACS).

• Completing all of the elements of the PT2020 Strategic Plan, including development of a Campus Master Plan and clear articulation of our academic program, among many other items.

• Navigating an unprecedented global pandemic, implementing myriad health and safety protocols to maintain full-time inperson education for all of our students.

Looking forward, enrollment looks strong for the 2022-2023 school year, and contributions to the Park Tudor Annual Fund are ahead of this time last year. Our seniors are making their final college choices from a variety of excellent schools,

including some of the most competitive in the country. Our sports teams have experienced tremendous success, and the Fine Arts have come back with wonderful performances throughout the year - and more to come this spring.

I am looking forward to my last few months here at the school, marked by the many end-of-year traditions that have become very meaningful to me - Awards Day and the Senior Serenade and breakfast, the Fifth Grade and Eighth Grade celebrations, and of course the lovely Commencement ceremony. I am pleased that it looks like we will be able to enjoy these events together as a group without any COVID restrictions in place.

I would like to thank everyone in the Park Tudor community for making me feel so welcome and at home. In particular, I would like to thank my wonderful colleagues - the success of the school has largely been driven by the talented and dedicated faculty and staff.

I look forward to returning to PT to visit, and will continue to enjoy watching from afar as the school moves forward into the next phase.

My best,

Gareth Vaughan

News of the School The Results Are In: The AIM Survey Reveals Progress and Opportunity

tabulated findings fell into 3 categories: Healthy = 4.0 or higher; Priority Concern = 3.5 - 3.99; High Priority Concern = 3.49 or lower. In the Board category, “Staff/Faculty Reflect Student Diversity” was a High Priority Concern at 2.8, and for Parents, Guardians, Administrators, Staff and Alumni, “General Positive Atmosphere” was a Priority Concern. All of the Student scores were 3.8 and above, with “General Positive Atmosphere,” “Diversity Important to Excellence in Education,” and “Staff/ Faculty Demonstrate Respect” at the top.

By Camille T. Wiggins, Director of Equity and Inclusion

The AIM results have the ability to show the Leadership Team where work is needed and the team can create strategies to improve. The most noticeable results were evident in the student population where the perception of multiculturalism and inclusivity was markedly positive. Those results affirm efforts currently in place. Attention to matters that build community particularly the resumption of clubs and organizations, community meetings and assemblies, spirit weeks and tailgate events continue to be an asset. Other news and updates in our community can also be found on the PT DEI webpage (www.parktudor.org/dei). PT’s mission is to prepare each student to thrive in a complex and diverse world, and it appears that we are on the right track, with room to grow.

The year 2020 was shaped and changed by matters of social justice, politics and a global pandemic. Discussions of equity, inclusion, and fairness influenced ideas on community and belonging all around the world, and many of those conversations touched our PT community as well. Call it an identity crisis, a re-set, or a re-birth, it was an opportune time for PT to reexamine who we are or who - or what - we’d become. It was time to put a spotlight on our community to see how it had been shaped and changed, and to learn what was needed to help it thrive. As a part of this process, the Leadership Team concluded that a survey was one of the measures that could help provide guidance.

By the spring of the 2020-2021 academic year, PT embarked upon a school-wide survey to solicit feedback on inclusion and multiculturalism efforts on campus. The tool used was the Assessment of Inclusivity and Multiculturalism (AIM), a survey specifically designed for independent schools to connect with their school community to gain an understanding of the climate of inclusion on their campuses. The AIM survey was created by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), and has been used for over a decade by independent schools all across the country. The respondents of the confidential survey represented individuals from 7 constituent groups: Students – 7th through 12th grade (90%), Faculty (66%), Administration (68%), Board (50%), Staff (39%), Parents/Guardians (26%), and Alumni - class years 2000 through 2020 (6%).

The Upper School Debate Team won several honors at both the Indiana High School Forensics Association (IHSFA) State Debate Tournament held at Marian University on January 28-29, and at the NSDA District Tournament held at Hamilton Southeastern High School on February 5. In both tournaments, LincolnDouglas (LD) value-debaters argued if the appropriation of outer space by private entities is unjust, while in public forum debate (PF), teams argued the pros and cons of the US federal government legalizing all illicit drugs.

At the State Tournament, three Park Tudor entries broke into the Sweet-Sixteen single-elimination bracket - a remarkable achievement given that the pool of debaters in each event was so large. In LD, sophomores Hannah Warren and Aditi Dey qualified for the Octo-finals out of a pool of 52 debaters from across the state. Hannah then defeated a senior to advance to the quarterfinal round before being eliminated by the eventual state champion. In World Schools Debate (a three-on-three format based on European parliamentary style with both prepared and impromptu resolutions), the freshman team of Emily Wang, Allison Xu, and Mischa Mallbris reached the quarterfinals and defeated the eventual state champions in an early preliminary round. Overall, the team took home the 7thplace trophy at State from all the accumulated wins.

The following week, a collection of freshman & sophomore debaters just missed qualifying for Nationals at the NSDA Hoosier Heartland District Tournament. These included sophomore Alexa Wei, who went 2-2 in LD and freshmen Joseph Mokaya and Evan Li, who went 2-2 in PF. The District Tournament marked the finale of this year’s Indiana debate season. The Debate Team is coached by Dr. Matthew McGrath.

Congratulations debaters on a great season!

Panther Robotics Earns Two State Championships, Five VEX Worlds Invitations

Martinsville, ranked fourth overall. The second-ranked team selected Cobra Kai, an indication of confidence in the Cobra Kai’s robot and driving capabilities. Most surprisingly, the sixth-ranked team chose Ghost Code, an unlikely selection given the team’s ranking and record. However, robotics and alliance selection is about more than wins and losses. In evaluating a good alliance partner, teams often consider the day’s schedule, the team’s robot, and the team’s reputation, all of which played in Ghost Code’s favor.

In eliminations, all three Park Tudor teams prevailed through the round of 16 and quarterfinals. In the semifinal match, Ghost Code lost a tough match to the PigPen/Gears alliance, 215-84.

Receiving a semifinalist award, Ghost Code earned a guaranteed spot in the VEX Worlds competition in May. In the finals match, Cobra Kai faced PigPen, so Park Tudor was promised a high school state championship regardless of the outcome. In an exciting, best-of-three finals match, Cobra Kai won the first game 219-200 and PigPen won the second 207-105, sending the competition to a winner-take-all final game. PigPen narrowly defeated the Cobra Kai alliance, 204192. As state champions and tournament finalists, both PigPen and Cobra Kai earned a guaranteed spot in the VEX Worlds competition. Additionally, PigPen won the Excellence award and Cobra Kai earned the Amaze Award.

Park Tudor Robotics delivered a one-two knockout punch at the 2022 Indiana VEX Robotics State Championship, winning both the middle school and high school championship competition at the annual event held at Lucas Oil stadium, the largest VEX Robotics event in the country. Teams Kobayaski Maru and Pigpen finished the day with a state championship trophy, and along with them, three other Park Tudor teams — Trial and Error, Cobra Kai, and Ghost Code — finished the competition with guaranteed invitations to the VEX Worlds competition in Dallas this May. In the middle school competition, three Park Tudor teams competed, each finishing qualifications with impressive records. Kobayaski Maru ranked in fifth place out of 24 competitors with a 5-1 record, Xtreme Chaos ranked at eighth place with a 4-2 record, and Trial and Error finished in 15th place and a 3-3 record. Each team prevailed in the round of 16, but Xtreme Chaos lost to a powerful alliance in quarterfinals.

In the semifinals match, Kobayaski Maru and Trial and Error faced off, with Kobyaski Maru inching out a win 83-63. In the finals match, Kobayaski Maru and their alliance partner from Converse, Indiana defeated a higher-ranked alliance for the state championship.

Three Park Tudor teams also competed in the high school competition; however, each team had remarkably different results during qualifications. Team PigPen ended qualifications in first place with a 6-0 record, the only team to finish undefeated. Cobra Kai finished in ninth place with a record of 4-2. Ghost Code recorded its worst qualifications showing of the season, ending in 46th place out of 50, with a 1-5 record.

Park Tudor DECA Achieves Success in its First Three Years

past year, we have added Marketing Communications and Introduction to Business classes to our course offerings in the Upper School and hope to add more in the future.

By Sandi Johnson, Upper School Technology Integrator and DECA Advisor

It’s exciting to see the growth of our students and the school as we help prepare our students to become global leaders in business after graduation. At a minimum, our students are able to explore their interests with the support of the DECA club and its supporters.

In the fall of 2019, a small group of senior girls inquired about starting a new club at Park Tudor and approached Mrs. Webster with the idea. They had heard about DECA, a competitive business club, from some friends in a nearby school and wanted to start a chapter of their own. This curiosity has evolved into a rapidly growing program at Park Tudor that brings the excitement of a career in the world of entrepreneurship and business to our Upper School students.

In the three short years of its existence, the club has served over 100 students in some capacity. A typical DECA year starts with gathering interest at our annual Club Fair. The current PT DECA Executive Board develops content to introduce the interested parties to the program, reviewing the five main cluster groups that make up the framework of the program. They include marketing, finance, business administration, entrepreneurship, and hospitality and tourism. From there, the students choose a competition platform they are most interested in. Students can compete in short Role Plays and Case Studies in which they respond quickly to business scenarios in their chosen cluster.

They also have the choice to develop more involved written solutions in categories that tackle community challenges, writing up a business plan and more. Members are rigorously engaged in exercises that develop teamwork , problem solving, critical thinking and creativity. All of these skills are essential for the development of a well-rounded individual.

A sincere thank you goes out to the following parents and faculty who stepped up to volunteer as trainers, mentors and advisors to our students. The scope of content in the program is broad, and the club would not have grown without their support: Blair Mancini, Alexander Loewen, Spring Rouhana, Valerie Pai, Samantha Rigby-Coghlan, and Kelly Teller.

DECA’s mission is to prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.

DECA 2019-2020 Founding Members

Students compete through district, state and international competitions, all in the hopes of bringing home DECA Glass, the highest award presented in the program. Park Tudor students have successfully brought home not only Glass, but countless other awards throughout the club’s existence.

The challenge for the club over the years has been to acquire a team of adults that can educate and evaluate students in a broad range of topics. With the help of Park Tudor families and community members that have stepped up in a volunteer capacity, we have been able to connect students with experts in their desired fields to serve as mentors and judges. Training has typically been held in the evenings via Zoom, and students can attend when they are able.

The club easily survived a pandemic year as students pivoted to a virtual competition platform, gaining momentum with tech and communication skills needed to convey their knowledge in the new format. It was easy to see how our students continued to build valuable skills during the pandemic that will benefit them in their years beyond high school.

Because of the success with the DECA program, Park Tudor’s attention shifted to the need for a business curriculum in the high school, meeting the interests of our students in the classroom, not just in the after school club program. In the

Park Tudor Trio of Football Players Named All-Region

By Spencer Summerville, Assistant Director of the Upper School and Head Football Coach

From 2000–2020, Park Tudor only had three players named to the Region 7 All-Star team: Courtney Clency, Patrick Oldham, and me, Spencer Summerville. I was 2005, which was the most recent year our school had a player named All-Region; we’ve had none in the past 15 years.

For 2021, we have three players who have earned this honor! Please join me in congratulating the following members of our PT football family:

as freshmen in 2018. The first year on the field was rough, which made changing schools even tougher.

What would you tell your freshman self?

Watkins

Rylan Watkins – Offensive Line CJ Thompson – Wide Receiver Caden Whitehead – Cornerback The members of the Indiana Football Coaches Association assemble and vote on the top senior performers at each position. Members of the All-Region team are eligible to be voted on for participation in the Indiana North/South All-Star game. How could it be that three kids from the same small school earn their way onto the team? This is not the triumph of football skills (although it’s pretty obvious that these three kids can ball); rather, it’s the triumph of friendship and three men building each other up towards success.

Caden, CJ and Rylan have known each other for a long time. Their friendship started in youth sports, carried into middle school and has continued to flourish here at Park Tudor.

The trio graduated from Lincoln Middle School and decided to join Coach Orlando Lowry here

Thompson

CJ: “Stick with the grind. There will be ups and downs but your teammates will get you through.

Grinding by yourself sucks, but when you have your boys there, you’ll get through.”

CJ Thompson closes out his career in 3rd place on PT’s record board for receptions, receiving touchdowns and receiving yards. With more than 1500 yards and 20 touchdowns, CJ Thompson is 2x Honorable Mention for AllCounty at wide receiver. Lutheran coaches candidly told me at the IFCA vote, “When 3 walked out on the field with his abs out, we knew who the Dog was. We changed the game plan immediately so we could double him all night.”

Why did you come back to PT? (Rylan left PT to attend Pike High School for a year, but soon returned) Rylan: It took me to leave to realize what a special place Park Tudor is. CJ and Caden, too. I mean, I had boys at Pike but it’s not the same as having gone through things here and stuff.”

Whitehead

In addition to the All-Region team, Rylan Watkins has also been recognized as an All-State PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2022

SPORTS NEWS defensive tackle. He is willing to play defense, but likes that he is better known for contributing to 7.5 yards per carry on the offensive side, opening holes for his boy Caden. Rylan was a starter for Pike High School (6A) in his season away from the Panthers.

What has playing with your childhood friends meant to you?

Caden: “It has meant a lot. That’s why I was crying so hard on senior night. Like, these are my boys and we came so far. From 0-10 to almost going all the way. It’s the world.”

Caden finishes his PT career with All-State honors as a defensive back. Over the past 4 years, he is responsible for 92 tackles, 8 interceptions, and multiple return touchdowns. Offensively, he is a 3-year starter at running back. Caden has committed to continuing his playing career at DePauw University where he will “do whatever Coach says to get on the field.”

Honestly, this triumph and the players’ accomplishments are why we do what we do. As coaches, we have already played and we’re just trying to give these kids a chance to experience what the game has given us. More than the bumps and bruises I got or the stiffness in my aging knees, I remember the relationships I have with my brothers - blood brothers and the ones born in sweat.

Football and Cheerleading Senior Night, Fall 2021

PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2022

We chant before every game: “I am one but I am only one. I can’t do everything but I can do something.” When you have great teammates, you don’t have to do it all.

Coach Ryan Mossakowski, who was here as offensive coordinator when CJ, Caden and Rylan were freshman says, “It [their friendship] got them through the good times and bad times because they could lean on each other, push each other and advocate for one another. That kind of relationship helps you grow. It’s been fun to watch them in the journey and see how much they grew up. I’m proud of the hard work and effort.

For it to pay off this year in such a big way, is great.”

The Panthers went 0-10 with these same guys in follower roles. Their patience, hard work and leadership alongside Ty Lewis, Aaron Roach, Willie Sanders and the other seniors has transformed this program. I’m so proud of CJ, Caden and Rylan.

Congratulations for being recognized as Region 7 All Stars. The honor is deserved.

Willie Sanders, Rylan Watkins, Kaleb Harris and Jordan Bowles will be greatly missed by their coaches and teammates.

Girls Basketball The 2021-2022 girls basketball team had a tremendous season full of celebrations. The team finished with a 15-8 record, which is the fifth-straight winning season for the Panthers.

They made it to the Sectional championship game by defeating Western Boone on the Stars’ home court in the semi-final game.

The senior class finished with 56 wins in four years, which is the most wins over the course of a four-year span since the 1990s.

Individually, the Panthers had a lot to celebrate. Junior Gretchen Farley and senior Halle Shelt both made the PAAC All Conference First Team. Shelt also made the All Marion County First Team and was invited to Indiana’s Top 60 Workout. In addition, Shelt reached a remarkable milestone, scoring more than 1,000 points in her high-school career. She is just the second girls basketball player to mark that achievement.

While it will be sad to see seniors Jose Lacy, Sarah Wilcher, Sara Nazar, Alyssa Gaines and Halle Shelt leave Park Tudor, the future for the Panthers looks very bright with Farley, Desha Van Veldhuizen, Anna Supe, Victoria Sullivan, Dejanae and Dominae Butler, Claire Webster and Lilly Harris all returning next year as letter winners.

Boys Basketball As the 2021-2022 boys basketball season comes to an end, there are many things to celebrate. This team endured some adversity early in the season and was 4-4 at one point. They then rattled off nine straight wins as they knocked off Brebeuf, Chatard and Heritage Christian. They finished the season with a record of 14-7. The team ultimately fell in a hard-fought game in the Sectional against Heritage Christian.

Swimming The girls 2021-2022 swim team captains were Zoe Paugh, Morgan Emerson, and Ellie Rogers. Sophomore Kate Weigand was the Conference Champion and broke the meet record in the 50 freestyle at the PAAC Championships at Ball State. Our girls team also finished 10th in the Sectional meet. Congratulations to all our Sectional Championship qualifiers: Ellie Hunter, Ellie Rogers, Hadley Murphy, Isa Hanson, Kate Weigand, Lizzie Sturman, McCullough Jordan, MJ Furqueron, Morgan Emerson, Natalia Hanson, Natalie Whitacre, Shayla Johnson, and Zoe Paugh. In the Sectional 200 freestyle relay, the team of Weigand, Johnson, Hunter, and Isa Hanson won the consolation heat and placed 9th overall. The girls 400 freestyle relay team of Weigand, Johnson, Hunter, and Paugh also won the consolation heat and paced 9th overall. Kate Weigand qualified in the top 8 in the 50 freestyle in prelims and then placed 7th overall in the finals with a lifetime best of :26.09. Kate also dropped 4 seconds in prelims in the 100 freestyle (:59.97) to qualify in the consolation heat, eventually placing 11th overall.

The boys 2021-2022 swim team captains were Alex Badman and Anthony Peng. Senior Alex Badman was the Conference Champion in the 50 freestyle at the PAAC Championships at Ball State. The team finished 13th at the Sectional meet.

Congratulations to all our Sectional Championship qualifiers: Peter Dubie, Evan Li, Alex Badman, Sreeragvee Atluri, Joshua Badman, Ahmed Athar, Jake Lasek, and Cole Reed. In the 200 freestyle relay at Sectionals, the team of Peter Dubie, Evan Li, Alex Badman, and Sreeragvee Atluri placed 9th overall. The same team finished 10th overall in the 200 medley relay. Alex Badman placed 8th in the 50 freestyle and the 100 butterfly in the consolation heats.

Senior Jordan Bowles, who averaged 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, was named to the PAAC All Conference First Team. His junior teammate, Jermaine Coleman, who averaged 18.5 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, was also named to the PAAC All Conference First Team. Junior Bryce Petty was named to the PAAC Honorable Mention Conference Team.

The goal of this senior class was to “leave the program in a better position than when they arrived four years ago” and they most certainly have done that. Eddy Maruyama, Anwar Penn, PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2022

STUDENT FEATURE FEATURE

Student Feature: Meet Alyssa Gaines, National Youth Poet Laureate Finalist

By Cathy Yingling Chapelle ’87 Senior Alyssa Gaines has been named one of four finalists in the National Youth Poet Laureate program. She is also serving as Midwest Regional Ambassador for this prestigious program, which celebrates our nation’s top youth poets who are committed to artistic excellence and civic engagement.

Launched in 2008 in New York City by award-winning literary arts organization Urban Word, the Youth Poet Laureate expanded to Los Angeles in 2014 and has since expanded to 41 more cities across the country and continues to add more. In 2016, First Lady Michelle Obama celebrated the program at the White House and honored the inaugural group of finalists for the country’s first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate. In 2017, Amanda Gorman was named the first National Youth Poet Laureate. Gorman garnered national attention when she read her poem, “The Hill We Climb” at President Biden’s Inauguration celebration.

I recently sat down with Alyssa to learn more about this prestigious honor.

Tell me more about the National Youth Poet Laureate program and how you got involved.

I learned about the national program from a local program here.

I’ve been active in poetry for a while, and I’ve been involved with youth poetry organizations in the city. I had been focused on doing Slams and poetry competitions, but I liked the civic engagement aspect of the Youth Poet Laureate program. I applied locally and was selected as the Indianapolis Youth Poet Laureate in 2019.

From there, I applied for the National Youth Poet Laureate program and I was selected as a finalist, as well as Midwest Regional Ambassador. Since then, I’ve been going all around the Midwest to conduct workshops and readings, and I’ve also judged some competitions. I’ve been doing lots of speaking and writing, including some commissioned pieces for particular events.

Why has poetry become your preferred form of artistic expression?

I’m very drawn to language, because it carries such a message about our culture. I like that in poetry language is the goal in and of itself - it is the end, rather than the means to an end. I love performing, and I enjoy taking my poetry from the page to a performance; I find it a very compelling way of storytelling.

I’ve heard poets described as historians, and I think that’s really true. Poetry is a way of documenting what is important to me.

You are in some great company, with Amanda Gorman and other well-known poets who have been finalists in this program. How does that feel?

It’s exciting. It’s great to be part of a network of writers who are also so committed to civic engagement. Growing up doing Slam - I started competing when I was 13 - I had met a lot of the finalists. It’s been fun to see what they are all doing now - many of them are doing some incredible things not just in poetry but in other fields. So, it’s really valuable just to know them and be connected. I’ve learned a lot from them.

written and see if there is anything I can pull from there as a starting point. If I don’t have anything I’ll start fresh and do a lot of research, to find something about the topic that speaks to me and my experience.

How has your time at Park Tudor helped you develop your writing?

My time here has challenged me to grow up in a lot of different ways. I’ve experienced a lot of personal growth and growth in relationships, and my writing has definitely changed, as well.

Before I came to Park Tudor, I went to a very diverse public school, and I was very aware of the different environment here.

I thought a lot about my identity, and how I can help others who might look like me or live in my same neighborhood, and that is reflected in my writing, as well. I wrote a lot of political poems for Slam, because those tend to score really well. But after coming to Park Tudor and reading “Oranges” by Gary Soto in Mrs. Gellin’s class and “Thrall” by Natasha Tretheway in Dr. Hart’s class, I started writing much more personal pieces. I still talk about political issues, but I’ve started thinking more deeply about my personal journey and how those issues have affected me. Any poet can write generally about politics, but only I can write my personal stories.

What are your future plans? Do you plan to pursue writing in college?

I definitely want to continue writing, no matter what I end up studying in college. I might major in something else - I really like history and political economy - but eventually I would love to get an MFA. I’m also passionate about theater, so perhaps playwriting might be something I will pursue.

I know you have a busy year ahead with the Youth Poet Laureate program, with a big commencement event in May and a workshop in the fall. What else will you be doing this year?

We’re working towards two publications, a book of poetry for the group of Youth Poet Laureate finalists and an individual book of my own poetry. In addition, we have lots of bookings all across the country, focused on a variety of issues. We’ve got an event coming up that is focused on mental health in education, which has become an even more important topic as a result of the pandemic. Voting rights is also a major topic that is a focus of some of our bookings. The bookings are a variety of things they could be performances, a poetry workshop, or writing a commissioned piece.

How do you approach writing a commissioned piece vs. addressing a topic of your own choosing?

I write a lot about personal topics and vignettes from my life, so I often start by going back and looking at poems that I have PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2022

just see ceramics as an opportunity for decoration,” says Katie.

“I’ve developed a greater appreciation of form.”

Both Becca and Katie initially discovered their love for pottery while they were students at Park Tudor. Becca studied with Barb Beattie, while Katie’s ceramics teacher was Marlina Koonce. “My attention to formal excellence has a great deal to do with the way Mrs. Beattie taught,” Becca reflects. “She wouldn’t allow her students to keep any of the pots we made until we could make three 8” tall cylinders. She’d encourage us, saying, ’If you can successfully make a cylinder, you can make just about any piece of pottery except for a plate.’”

Katie found the ceramics studio a welcoming place during her time at Park Tudor. “Sometimes I’d just hang out in the studio during free periods, doing other homework,” says Katie. “Mrs. Koonce also gave us opportunities to take deeper dives and follow interests into projects. She never hesitated to spend extra time – sometimes inconveniencing herself— to unload the kiln and see how a piece turned out. She was just as excited as I was to see the finished product.”

Becca '13 and Katie Ito '18

Becca ’13 and Katie Ito ’18 have joined forces to create pottery that celebrate hospitality and beauty in the ordinary.

Becca started Prakun Pottery in 2017, when she returned to Indianapolis following college graduation. Thai for “grace,” Prakun is also Becca’s middle name. “I’m captivated by expressions of welcome embodied in feasts around the world.

My ceramics are influenced by food cultures, particularly those of Thai and Midwestern-American contexts. Pottery becomes a place to explore the complexities of my inheritance as a Chinese-Thai, Japanese-American. The pop and pizazz of Thai cuisine finds a place beside the quiet abundance of a Midwestern table, and I try to capture both in the speckled plates and rice bowls I throw. And then that hospitality moves outward. My work invites others to set generous tables, where both friend and stranger are made welcome.”

This past summer took Katie deeper into the work of Prakun Pottery. She was an indispensable part of Becca’s art show at Indy’s Harrison Center for the Arts, lavishing time and artistry on a Thai-lotus-carved set of dishes that graced the gallery.

More whimsically, she also assumed the title of “Potterwatch Double Agent.” “When Becca is working, she can lose herself in the process and forget to eat and otherwise take care of herself,” laughs Katie. “It worries her friends to no end, so I’m there to subtly remind her to take a snack break or stretch sore muscles.”

In 2019, Katie first partnered with Becca to create a set of dishes for a chef and artist collaboration at local community studio, Fountain Square Clay Center. Becca threw the two bowls, plate, and cup, and Katie geometrically carved the surfaces. The set generated a lot of interest – and orders – which the sisters undertook with delight and faint surprise at being in demand.

“Katie loves drawing and surface design, while I gravitate towards balancing form, feel, and heft,” Becca says. “Working with Katie has helped me better approach my threedimensional shapes as a canvas.” What’s more, collaborating with Katie has deepened Becca’s love of the pottery-making process. “Working on my own, I can lose interest before a piece is finished,” Becca admits. Katie adds, “By collaborating, we work together from start to finish. It’s more work in some ways — you can’t make decisions alone — but it’s far more fulfilling.”

Similarly, she says that working with Becca has helped her learn to love the beginning of the pottery-making process. “I don’t PARK TUDOR PHOENIX SPRING 2022

With Katie and other Potterwatch friends helping Becca stay alive, she’s free to face the other challenges involved in building a business as a professional artist. “I’m not able to spend nearly as much time throwing pottery as I’d like,” Becca says. “There’s the whole business side to take care of – sales, taxes, emails, posting pictures, promoting yourself – and also convincing clients that art enriches local businesses and communities.

Fortunately, I have a team of enthusiastic and highly talented women who partner with me in everything from writing to logistics to research and development.”

Becca adds that the gifts far outweigh the challenges. “I love the relational aspect of my business. Clients will often share significant aspects of their lives with me, particularly when they commission pieces as gifts. I often feel like I’m stepping on sacred ground as I listen to their stories to gather inspiration for a piece.”

Becca holds out hope for aspiring artists, wondering if we are living an age when people are fatigued with products that are easy, cheap, and mass-produced. “Maybe the pandemic had something to do with it. But people seem hungry for something beautiful, something that can’t just be ordered online and delivered,” says Becca. “My customers want something meaningful, something that attention has been lavished on, that draws attention back to the beauty inherent in our ordinary spaces and the people we share them with.”
