Discovery

This time of year is the scariest time of all... It's essay time... I always fool myself that "this time I will start earlier and will have it done weeks before it's due for the assessment'. But this year is no exception and I was doing everything else but my essay.... Finally today I have dragged myself to the library and start searching for answers.

It was quiet and nice and I have done my work for a day when I had found them!!
Three great artists who are doing things that for weeks were hatching in my head - I didn't know how to make them real.... I was sad at first. There are people already there doing things I wanted to do and obviously they are way better then I am. There is no place for me in ceramic world, everything what I wanted to do is done! 
Then I have realized that every student need a master :)

So I am proud to present my Masters and Heroes in ceramics:

Porcelain Paperclay

I still don't know exactly how my finished pieces are going to look like but I know that I want to make something light and translucent. That is why I had decided to work in porcelain.  Some of the forms can be too difficult to construct in porcelain without risking that they will collaps in the kiln.  In order to overcome this obstacle I had prepared some paperclay which is lighter and hopefully will keep the shape better.  First I cut porcelain in small pieces and let them get bone dry. Then I crushed them even more and added water to make smooth slip. When I had porcelain slip prepared I teared up some toilet paper and soaked it in hot water. After some time I sieved it and mixed with porcelain slip.

Something different

It's almost Christmas time and I was given a chance to take part in Craft Fair organized on  Limerick's Milkmarket. It was an experience all right but I don't think I want to carry on with this type of sells...  I have sold just few stars and I am deeply disappointed. There were simply no people there, I don't know what was the reason... maybe it's because of the recession.... Well anyway here is the stuff I was trying to sell, hope you like it :

Artist in Residency

I had a great opportunity to be the artist in residence at Husk for 6 months. During that time I had developed a process of working with inks on acetate. Here are some examples of the abstract paintings that are the results of my experiments.
