With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I am intrigued to find out why the heart shape is so common for this holiday.

We all know what the shape stands for – Love.

Do we know where it came from?

Who came up with it?

When was it created and why?

I decided to do a little research to find out.

From my research, I have found that there are a few interesting theories as to the actual origin of the heart shape

Throughout my art career, I have had the privilege to learn and explore ceramics of all types and styles. Influenced by my Korean ceramics professor, my interest in other cultures and worldly design flourished. I had also taken a course in Anthropology and Archaeology. I have had my share in ancient pottery and dissecting information from small shards of fired clay. I love problem solving and logical thinking, so this course was a lot of fun and very interesting for me.
