Listing on Etsy again…
I was at the Art Student’s League all day yesterday making new work. I threw 6 forms on the wheel including a plate which I hadn’t done in at least a year. I’m pretty happy with the results too. I also brought home a 16″ x 24″ slab of clay that I rolled out at the league to make some more slumped pieces. The plate you see above is one that I made from a slab with a small bowl which was thrown on the wheel “off the hump”. Sushi anyone??
All the spoon rests that I threw off the hump a couple of weeks ago just came out of the glaze firing and I’m going to start listing those on Etsy tomorrow, if not today, depending on time. Here’s an example of one of them below.
My sister in law just popped in and and asked what I was up to. She came by right in the middle of my photo shoot for my new work and my subsequent resizing in Photoshop. I mentioned that “making the art is just a fraction of what goes into being an artist”. She thought that might be a good tag line for a class I’m thinking of pitching to the league in the future ie., basically everything I’ve learned about the internet, setting up a free website, blogging and using other tools to get my art into the public realm.
I’m bisquing my ceramic pendants today and hope to fire up the bigger kiln later this week.
Talk soon,
