Ceramics fun...

I was once quoted as saying, "3D! Why would I ever need that!" on my foundation course. However, it has come back to bite me in the bum as I love making 3D artefacts these days. I recently had an induction into the wonderful ceramics workshop at Uni and loved every minute of it. Here are my labours of love!

Cluedo...

Last semester we had a drawing project where we had to find an object to represent each of the characters from the boardgame Cluedo. We had to arrange our objects to create a set up which we then drew. I started off quite timid because I find drawing large set ups pretty challenging. But then Tony my tutor came along with indian ink and some large brushes and encouraged me to GO BIG! Something clicked and I started producing large expressive drawings and had great fun. So much fun in fact that I knocked over a pot of indian ink all over the carpet...oops! I finally faced my fear of tone and tried out a new way of working which I love!

Happy Birthday Granny...

It was my Granny's birthday in December so I made a little card with some watercolour paint and I also sent her some of her favourite homemade ginger biscuits for a tasty birthday treat!
