Putting it all together.
Ephemera and inclusions. Dad’s prose poem, wedding souvenirs, messages to loved ones, pressed blue flowers from Dad’s funeral…..
Making a Box and locking the treasures away.
And finally; Making.
Workshop: Ceramics 20th -21st September 2018
Day One: A little underwhelming from the ceramics point of view perhaps as I was familiar with the techniques we explored, but, none-the-less, enjoyable for the chance to get to know the group members better. Also nice to be working and making in a different context – out of the college studio. Caz’s ceramic studio is a lovely, relaxed and welcoming place.
Day Two: A chance to develop pieces that may be included in my book project. Book closure ideas – buttons, buckles, clasps – worked around Dad’s blue flowers theme. Dad also much in mind because he was after all – primarily, a potter. Caz, much amused at the pictures of the potters wheel Dad made himself (which I now own and frustratingly never seem to get round to restoring ….. one day!)
