I could get to like this -- mould-making aside. But once we'd done that bit, I really started to enjoy what I was doing. We'd not done this egg-shell technique at Brierley, and I'm certainly interested in doing it again, now I know what's involved. Trouble was we had only an hour to do the fun bit before it had to be in the kiln -- then everything cleared away in time for a lecture on the History of Art in Ten and a Half Chapters. I'm afraid I've bunked. Off to a talk by Alison Kinnaird on her wheel engraving techniques.
