It was my first day back at Hope today and over Christmas I've had time to think about what I'm going to make there.
I've been looking at medieval clothing, especially intricate lacework and ruffs. Using the very fine extruded strings of clay, I intend to make intricate 3D forms based on these designs. Think it will be very exciting, very labourious and technically tricky but hopefully worth it.
Over Christmas we went to Wolverhampton Art Gallery and saw these amazing ceramic phoenix style birds from ancient China. They were made as roof ornaments but deserve to be seen up close.
