A series of tubes

The internets:


Those greenish grey markings are the result of something that was stuck on the kiln shelf. I may discard those ones or i may decide that i like it that way. At any rate i have some more bits going in the kiln on thursday and i'm going to start making the next batch tomorrow. I've moved on from pipes and i've started making rectangular things, but I will return to the tubes soon. I'm going to need a LOT of them.

Return of the Swamp Thing

I'm back! I've been getting sucked into the gloopy mire of a busy schedule, but now i'm going to be awesome instead. I've been getting a bit more work done at uni and I will show you once it's high-fired and shiny.

I visited Melbourne for a week-and-a-bit and whilst most of my time was spent at the Suzuki Convention, I made time to visit some great little galleries in the city centre, and a way-too-brief visit to the National Gallery of Victoria, where there was a jaw-dropping exhibit of ancient ceramic and stone artifacts. I also spent an almost shameful amount of time in the Craft Victoria shop, and came away with new posessions and new ideas.

I also came across a little shop on Brunswick St, selling a fantastic new art surface which is a bit like plaster, a bit like ceramic, a bit like a chalkboard... visit http://www.panelpop.com/ to have a look. I ended up buying a little framed square one that i have been playing around with. Drawing! It is fun.
