Mouldmaking is a struggle :P

It was supposed to take me a day maybe two... a week later I am still starting each day with the thought 'I'll have my mould ready today'. It turns out to be very time consuming and quite stressful procedure but I am happy to finally see the results- I don't have my moulds ready yet but the models are finished, at least some of them :) Hope you will enjoy them as much as I do :) They will be giant wall tiles (about 50x50 cm) I was planning to make lights but have just 4 weeks left before assessments and  using porcelain can be very tricky so I will probably have to change my plan and use stoneware instead. Will make lights next year I promise! I love them already :)

Rough clay models

I needed to decide what is my main interest in this project so I did some rough clay work to see if I am more attracted to the messy side of it or to the straight and sharp one. I was cutting into wet blocks of clay to create the distortion. Here are the results: I decided that I would like to work with very precise objects this time but I still  find the tests quite interesting.

Cracked- Ceramics Exhibition

Woohoo :) We had our first exhibition last week :) It was exciting. I didn't manage to produce any ceramics for it but well... you could see my sketchbook and paper models :) I am just starting my clay work now - was off for work experience for a week. Anyway here are some photos from the exhibition, enjoy :) My work Martyna Wysocka's work Nicola Dunne's and Kate Stoica's works. Aidan Power's stand. My business cards :)

Model-making stage

For last 2 weeks I was playing with paper. I started with simple forms and then looked at Origami and ways of creating patterns on paper by folding it. Here are some of my results (Let me know what you think about them) I was also researching designs inspired by Origami and there is lot of reference in architecture and furniture design but also in ceramics :)  here are some cool examples   and ceramic ones .
