I have decided to set up my own web site which you can have a look at. I was inspired by Gwen Black's web page with Spanglefish (please see link), and decided, if I can get this blog going, I can make my own web site too! At the moment its all written words, and I'm about to start incorporating my images ~ so do take a look, its listed under my blog links. Let me know what you think!
Tomorrow is my last Aboyne and Deeside pottery sessions. It always amazes me (Sorry! I've said this before), but you give each individual in the class the same size of lump of clay and the work that is produced at the end of the session is always so different. I'm not speaking about quality or quantity, but the approach to the material and what is created. Some people are very timid and need their hands held while other are really quiet gungho! And the work can either be detailed, concentrated or protective, while other pieces produced feel rather zesty, experimental and liberating. It is also exhausting! So over the last 9 weeks I have seen a huge array of work and approaches (some of which has inspired me with my own work), so, I will download some images for you tomorrow.
Its been an interesting and fun time over the summer (forgetting the weather), and although I have enjoyed the pottery classes enormously, I'm glad they have now come to an end. I'll do them again next year, and some more evening classes come late September through to December. But, my own work is pressing ~ getting ready for NEOS'07, sorting out my commission and it is time to move on.
