    All the Oddjects

    For two years, I’ve been making things from clay at morning classes with Louise Gelderblom, but haven’t really catalogued them anywhere, so today’s the day to show all the Oddjects (or the ones I remembered to photograph, at least) all at once.

    Making Friday: From Sketchbook to Oddject

    Notebooks are very useful things to have with you. They’re good for recording fleeting ideas, and good to look back on to see where you’ve been. For two years, I’ve kept this little “Ceramics Ideas” notebook alongside my other general notebook, jotting down ideas for shapes I’d like to make in the Monday morning ceramics classes I’ve …

These two (remember Rooi en Blou on TV?) are the latest works in progress.

    Making Friday: Ceramics

    I’m still loving my weekly ceramics class, and these guys are the first of the bunch to come out of the kiln. Fingers crossed the rest don’t explode so I can eventually line them up in more or less the way I painted them before I began 🙂

    Making Friday – Monday Ceramics

    I’ve mentioned here and there that these days, I start my week with a couple of hours in a ceramics class with Louise Gelderblom, where I’m really having fun. A couple of weeks ago, after sketching lots of little footed pot-bellied little objects, I painted this row of interesting shapes, and decided that I’d spend …
