My trumpet project is going well – structure and flow are now incorporated throughout the process rather than just in the cold assemblage phase after firing. I have been throwing 10kgs at once pretty regularly which has been great fun but lots of physical work. Next stop: will have to work out how to suspend my pieces because the insides and outsides, bottoms and rims are all too gorgeous to hide away!
I’ve got a new project in the pipeline too – back to the cows. I’m building armatures to make skin-like cow forms over – I hope it all goes according to plan because I’m planning to make near-full size cattle which presents all kinds of challenges in terms of making modular sculptural ceramics. I have made large modular forms before using chicken wire and newspaper supports so we shall see if I can control that technique more.
