and i haven't missed it. i really needed to try something new, and my upcoming show has given me the opportunity to make new work and show it.<br />
the theme is "city" which has been really challenging for me as i don't consider myself a city person, even though we (reluctantly) moved to the city last year! so after living on the outskirts of town for many years, i have found myself in town and thinking about all the different aspects of city life and how to illustrate it, tell a story about it, make it into pots....<br />
<br />
I ended up with (mostly) tall storage jars and vases and lots of drawing and lots of liquid latex and lots of hours put into single pieces...quite a step away from the studio production mode i am usually in!<br />
<br />
here are a couple of before and after shots of some pieces:<br />

(naturally!)<br />
<br />
have a different, kind of funky, homemade set-up for taking photos of larger items, with graduated background etc. basically it is PVC pipe, and some frosted corplast (to deflect the light), black cloth (to darken the back) and grey photo paper....<br />
<br />
here are a couple of photos of the setup, resulting photos to follow....<br />

I do respond to emails in a timely fashion, and even text (still new and a big deal)! why I remember sending my first emails in university....<br />
in any case i have been taking photos, which in my mind sometimes seems an arduous task, but isn't so bad when i get down to it. especially when it means time outside on the glorious sunny (hot!) weather we have been blessed with!<br />
here's a shot of my little pop-put set-up and a photo soon to be posted on etsy...<br />

so its time wake up from my mentlal hibernation and get down to it, making of a more productive sort, or a more regular routine. this week was mugs, egg cups, juice cups, tumblers, and platters!<br />
here's shots from the afternoon...<br />

but i have managed to find a bit of play time, while also making, yes, mugs...am trying to stick to a goal of spending on week a month (for the next few months) making new things, or playing, making new images, etc...<br />
<br />
here's from some time spent in january:<br />

Had a fabulous group of people ready to play with slip all week. Lots of laughing and lots of learning. Also enjoyed hanging out with the other instructors from various parts of North America. There was quite a BC contingent there this week! If you are in Alberta, or a reasonable travel distance, this is a great place to go to try anything from traditional drawing/painting, to hot glass, metal, printmaking, etc... the studios are truly great spaces to be.<br />
here are a few shots from the week:<br />

but, well, one blossom shot can't hurt. here's my little studio gallery with the plum tree in bloom (last week!)<br />
<br />

and i have been contemplating handles and how one holds things and how many fingers and balance of mugs and such things for the past few months…finally sprung into action to play with a couple of handles:<br />
<br />
handle # 1, i call the medium handle. can still get you whole hand in there, but doesn't take up quite so much of the mug:<br />

the mug on the far left (navy blue) is the current handle for my regular mugs. it fits the whole hand with room to spare. large handed people like it… but i find it takes up a lot of mug and have never been completely happy with it's profile…<br />
<br />

i am leaning towards handle #1. i like being able to still get all fingers in there and i like its profile and balance… while my current handle is pulled off the side of the mug, this new handle is pulled separately and attached leather hard. <br />
<br />
well maybe i will make mugs with both the current and the new handles!Dirty Girl Clayworkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02955485574196969523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367002694568649270.post-60663583247665511902015-02-12T20:35:00.001-08:002015-02-12T20:35:04.332-08:00Art Showif you are in Victoria come and check this art show at the <a href="http://gagegallery.weebly.com">Gage Gallery</a> in Oak Bay.

<br />
here's a couple of the bowls:<br />

i try to keep the stencils for my regular wares pretty simple… so think i will leave them with just these highlight lines added for the time being. partly as they are slow to cut (even though this winter i have been blessed with a studio assistant who cuts lovely stencils for me!), and though they are reusable they do eventually wear/tear… Dirty Girl Clayworkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02955485574196969523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367002694568649270.post-42890172683165270372015-01-22T17:48:00.000-08:002015-01-22T17:48:39.628-08:00adventures in sgraffitowell, as much as i should be making mugs to restock after a fabulous xmas season… i am working on some large platters in WHITE!! clay. my <a href="http://www.francissullivanphoto.com">dad</a> asked if i would like to put some pieces into a photo show he is having at the <a href="http://www.gagegallery.ca">gage gallery</a> in february…so i said why not? and then i said what am i thinking? my work doesn't really mesh with his… and so after much pondering i thought to try some sgraffito pieces based on his photos. and so that's what i have ben working on and here are some process shots<br />

it's not that i don't make plates, i just don't usually make that many.<br />
for years i have made small platters that are square, rectangular, and oval using hump moods. i like them, i like hand building and i think they are very sweet. but, i think, because of their shape, often people wonder what they are for. in my mind they are for serving food, but of course what something is used for is up to the user, and i know many of them are serving as soap dishes…<br />
in any case is have started making more plates on the wheel.<br />
regular, round plates. <br />
and then sets of plates. <br />
dinner plate, side plate.<br />
and then large platters with deep feet and holes for hanging on the wall. i had the idea to do a show of large commemorative bicycle platters. maybe that will come to pass, maybe not, but i am hooked on the round plates and platters these days.<br />
and no one asks me what they are for…<br />
here are some snapshots:<br />
