I have a kiln just reaching temperature right now with all my work for the Heathcote Exhibition - LUMINANCE. The opening is next Friday 13th November. We have to deliver our work on Monday so fingers a-n-d toes crossed. This is how it looked on Friday morning ....half full.
My fave is the one with photo images of my youngest boy Oscar .... it was supposed to be covered in bird images, as the other three vessels had my scanned in collection of eucalypt leaves on them but I had that photo of Oscar (11) on my phone and it just encapsulates scampish boyishness. So he has been immortalised now, he kind of likes that idea. They'll fire to sepia coloured images on polished porcelain. The interiors are glazed.
The vessels are for work I am hoping to finish tomorrow as little Rain Catchers with glassy colourless glaze and puddles of blue glaze inside as 'water' that has been caught. I'll never get used to living in such a dry country, Ireland had soooooooo much rain by comparison. If they could export it they'd sort out their economic crisis pronto. Ooops too many words again - doh!
