Rag Week

Newsflash! we  made it to Dolans after a lively detour! Do we get medals for suffering for our art? We'll just have to head out more often and build up resistance.
After a cracking Rag week I'm headed for Print next Elective. Looking forward to getting stuck into a different aspect of Print than we saw in first term.

Freud lookalike

One of the tasks was to replicate a L. Freud painting of your choice. I picked Frank. Hope you  like the results.

Painting Elective

Ceramics was a good introduction to our Painting Elective. We had great fun Painting with Card, mixing all our colours and testing our existing knowledge. See can you figure out what is in the paintings..

I have a good grounding in Ceramics now after two super weeks. Making vessels of different types and trying the Naked Raku finish. The crackle glaze turned out rather nice. We also had fun wheel throwing bowls, painting and  glazing

Ceramics

Started our two week trials in our 3 of the areas we have chosen. It is lovely to start off in Ceramics. An Air of calm descended on us on Monday. We knew we were in the hands of experts in their fields. What genius. They make it look amazingly simple. If only the clay would behave for me as it does for our instructors. There is nothing else for it only a sense of humour and a bucket load of patience. Throwing on the pottery wheel will be a novel way of testing my staying power. Will keep you posted. Looking forward to seeing the finished results, watch this space CCOI.

Printing

The Starlings do it better that any Artist I've seen yet.
