Ceramics Course – Week 6 & 7

10/11/2015

So, last week (week 6) we created pots using a ‘former’ and a process where we rolled up balls of clay, lined the former and then pressed them down to compact together so that the outside of the pot would be textured/patterned. I made a couple of pots. One very basic and small (which apparently did survive), and the other slightly bigger and more adventurous (which didn’t). However, it transpires I did not press the clay down enough, and so was not joined properly, and as you can see in the picture, the clay pulled apart in the drying process.

Featuring Artists and Creatives

26/02/2012

For quite a while now as you all know, I have been doing my Artists Feature Friday blog post, and basically just posting nice images of other artists work from my Flickr list. That’s all very well, but leaves me rather dissatisfied. I have come to the conclusion that there is too little support for emerging artists, and those who do not have a ‘name’.  There are some great art & design mags out there, but very few that feature artists that are not already established and/or commercially successful. Now, I get it. They need to make a buck, and that’s fine, but is an unsatisfactory state of affairs. It also smacks somewhat of elitism and snobbery, of which the art world is rife as it is. So, I have decided to start featuring artists, designers, photographers etc, that will include an interview and selection of work.
