Master Class - Day Two

On to Thrown and Altered forms today....

Master Class in Throwing - Day 1

These are 'clay sketches' made on the first day of the Master Class with Sandy Lockwood
- a four day class being held at the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery.

Studio clean up

 

This image was taken during the cooler months but it shows the view I have from my studio.  I am having a big clean up, throwing out those old tests I'll never use - putting things back where they belong and tomorrow, when it is cooler I'll wash the floor and pack my tools ready for the Master class with Sandy Lockwood in a couple of weeks time.

Happy New Year and Happy Potting in 2011

Wishing you clear skys and new horizons in 2011.

Merry Christmas

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

My prize

Today I picked up my prize from Blackwattle clay.
  I am really looking forward to testing their clays and casting slips - check out their website here: Blackwattle Clay

Off to the kiln

Yesterday I glazed most of my Nativity figures - these little ones are in for bisque

New home for 'Indigo Babes'

Thanks to my friend for having me enter these in the Hornsby Art Society show. Just had a call to say they sold!

Christmas Tree Decorations

I've made these little tree decorations to sell at the Como Waterfront Night Markets on Saturday 27th November, 4pm to 8.30pm.

Looking ahead

I have never made a Nativity Scene before and decided I would have a go.
The bodies are thrown on the wheel using porcelain clay and then I have 'dressed' each figure. It does take a lot of time but I am getting a bit better with each one.
