Today was my first day back to ceramics after finishing my last project! It's been some time, but i really feel that i'm going in the right direction, even though i only have a week available to go to the workshop before formative assessment, as i'm going to Barcelona the week after next! Busy times!
I am very excited at the moment as i feel as if, for once, everything's going my way! My college work is going fab, i've just got a new job, and i know what i want to do next!
Below are images of some of the pieces i made today inspired by twigs. I have been picking twigs from all sorts of places on my walks to and from college, so they're all different, with different characteristics, which i really like. Today i was hand building the twigs, and i think that they all look quite good. My favorite are the ones that i've mixed the pins into the clay itself, rolled the clay out into a sausage, left it to dry for a little, and then shaped it into a twig...the clay has split in lines because of the pins, which makes it look like split wood.
I'm really looking forward to developing my work this project and seeing where it goes. I'm especially excited to see how the pins and clay react with each other in these pieces as i've never mixed my pins into the clay before!
