Trying new things



I thought I should do something in the kiln room and the plaster room this week. You get to see what other peole are doing and that's instructive. I have a little commission to make a mask in glass - but what I came to realise was that I was not enjoying all the processes of making a clay model, then a plaster cast, cleaning up and all that's involved before you even start on the glass part of it. So I shifted back to the hot shop, where I had fun. I hadn't lost ground over the 3 weeks break and thought I might try larger and thinner, and perhaps more bowl-shaped. Loads of 'floor models', but a few got boxed.
