Wanted to try out this posture to see where it would take me. One week so far, probably about 3 more days and I can start my last work. I think the last work before I begin and installation piece, will be another standing figure. Perhaps a small one to see what’s the smallest my […]
I have had my first real success with a plaster mold and slip casting. I’m testing the limits of this two part mold by crafting as many of these heads as the mold will allow. Curious as to the breaking point? The heads are interesting, but next I’m going to try out a 4 part […]
two sessions. One session that was about 1 hour long, the other 30 minutes to clean up after it had dried overnight. One thing i really like about this photo taken on my graphite work bench, is this really interesting pattern. It’s making me think that I should do some wall hangings that involve this […]
1.5 hour sprint yielded this, which promptly collapsed under it’s own weight. I ended up salvaging the top portion which is still interesting and worthwhile for glaze explorations. I’m continuing to run these one sessions sprints in the hope of developing a body of work that can be used as maquettes or models for future […]
The days are so beautiful and a lack of sleep this week combined with a new workout routine combined with some pretty intense effort in the weeks prior– combine to make the desire element of work, non-existent. So I sat on my porch, in the pleasant spring eve, with a bag of clay and crafted […]
Almost forgot to vent these, I left them uncovered last night to dry, but thankfully this morning they were still wet enough to poke. Not certain about the finish here, and if the pedestand should be one piece. I guess it should be so I best cover again when I get home. Stopping by Granny’s […]
My first experience with a slip ball and it came out nice. The effect is to represent something akin to the set design from “Queen of the Night” in Amadeus, but also references the concept of stars and pearls. The Queen of the Ways represents a symbolic work that is the tragic collision of industry […]
I just crossed over that hump and am finally starting to get a flow around this development. Went out sketching on Sunday night at Cocoa Cinnamon cafe and finalize some of the details around this work. Still need to attach a head of course, and the detailing on this could take a week, but now that […]
Swimmer one of three completed this weekend. Started a new corset form and fired two bisque and 1 glaze. Will aim to complete another swimmer this weekend, and finalize a corset form. Working on researching in the background as well. Started a texture and color sample sheet and started reading my Slips book . May […]
