End of 3rd year...

And another year is gone.... just one more left....

I am a bit upset that I won't be working in clay for another 3 months- at least it looks like it.
I can't wait to have my own studio and do as much work as I want. :)

Any way everything is packed now and you have seen all my work from this year....
I just thought I can share this with you 


I was surprised when I discovered that I have a shoe box full of glaze tests :) 
If I'll feel up for it I'll post the recipes and photos for all of them - but I don't know when I'll get to do that :)

Have a nice summer and if you are in Dublin call in to Jam Art Factory to see my pieces :) 

ps. If you know someone who is -or are one- looking for an assistant in ceramic studio this summer please let me know :)

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.
