Ceramic Ranking Project

The final two weeks and four days ranking project is about making a ceramic piece of our own choice.
I decided to continue from where i stop before the Easter break.  we were shown how to do monoprint, paper resist and how to make glazes of different kinds and there recipe. I made three different type of vessel. I use transparent crackle glaze raku and the other one was naked raku. I am delighted the way the three pieces turn out.
Here are some of the ceramic piece i made during the 2 weeks:

Tool of the Trade.

The final week of the ranking project, i did some thumbnails sketches of plumber tools and also explore in different shape and forms. I also looked at the negative and positive space by cutting out the various tools from the cardboard and clay.

•We visited the gallery at the design center in Kilkenny to see some of the portfolio exhibition of Frances Lambe. we also saw some other artist workpieces

•We visited Karen Morgan’s shop and her pottery studio

•We also visited the school of pottery.

•Though we spent a whole day, but it worth it. I had the opportunity to visit Kilkenny and I got some ideas about what I might be doing next.
