CERAMIC DISCIPLINE: Tools, Trades & Traditions
| Gardening |
Plans to make a ceramic bodice piece inspired by ‘growth’ revolving gardening and the tools that combine this project.
Also plans to make a tableware set out if gardening tools.
I wanted to explore the idea of making functional pieces inspired by nature, growth and gardening.

Anhalisa Reavis
Reavis’ work is created with the intention of inspiring others that there is truly magic around us, so I believe.
I love her pieces because of the glazes she uses that give a holographic effect and it makes them even more magical.
She creates functional pieces also ranging from strainers, insence burners to cups and mugs.
Her pottery pieces are handmad also and is constantly creating more magical pieces!
I hope to create work inspired by Reavis someday because I relate to her inspiration of magic as I am not all just flowers and nature!

Claire Curneen
This artist was recommended to me by my tutor because I was looking at the body and figures for a piece I was planning.
The many reasons I admire Curneen’s work is the emotional impact I feel from her pieces.
What I mean from this, is the form of her figures and the mundane expressions they give in such a beautiful form.
Her work is described as ‘highly visceral’ along with references to Catholic themes from the early Italian Renaissance.
Curneen’s narrative exploits a great creation she makes from her pieces using porcelain, terra-cotta and black stone ware.
I find her porcelain pieces dipped in gold most endearing.

Jook’s work is also inspired by nature and I love the handmade table ware products she creates.
I believe the soft colours and the handmade pieces give another originality signifying her design in her work.
She recognizes herself as a ceramic designer.
I also enjoy her work due to the fact they are functional pieces.

Norris’ work is extremely unique in my eyes due to the shape and form of her ‘handmade pottery for daily-use’.
Popularly on her account, I acknowledge the the cloud shaped based mugs that burst with so many happy vibes.
I love the pastels she uses to suit the theme of her unique pieces.
I also enjoy the idea of the functionality of each piece even if the form is unique.

Tania Goldberg
From what I observe, Goldberg’s work is inspired by nature and fantastical sceneries that are carefully sculpted into functional pieces.
Goldberg’s pieces can be crafted from a historic perspective to a natural beautiful theme.
I find her work engrossing because of the amount of detail that is prominent in her popular mugs and the glazed she uses to make the stand out.
She also involves floral themes in her pieces and I love floral themes.

Hybrid Object
I enjoy working with clay a lot and managed to make a cup shaped contraption instead of what I initially sketched.
The shape and form is inspired by the lense of the Instax camera.
I didn’t know how to exactly make a hybrid object out of these two pieces to be exact but I did want it to make it functional.
The wire cork screw wire is like a small stand of some sort.
I’m happy with how the shape is and how clean cut it looks despite my previous creations with air drying clay.
I also made slip, it did the job!

2. Open your Handbag
I decided to choose the Swiss Army Knife on my keys that I carry in my bag.
I don’t use it, it was a gift and personally it helps me feel safe and it also has other tools that are convenient but I actually don’t use.

Line Drawing with Wire
I tried to do a 2D outline of the Instax camera.
It didn’t work well but I made a print of it in clay to emphasize the abstract lines.
I prefer working with clay when I have my hands on it, I am trying my best to use other media.
Saturday 11.04.20
I did some flower prints with clay assiociating with growth and nature.
They are in form of discs to suit the certain aesthetic I was aiming for.
I am pleased with how prominent the prints turned out.

1. Open The Everything Drawer
The item I picked from the everything drawer is the Instax camera.
I focused on the functional use it has and the purpose of each part.

‘Open’
‘Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.’
Open the Everything Drawer
In this drawer, I have my Instax camera, old purses, old phone cases, earphones, chargers and glasses cases.
It’s also a small drawer that’s why everything is on top of each other.
Everything I have in this drawer I have over years.
Despite the purses, the bear purse holds sentimental value due to the fact it’s a gift from my biological mother.
I wear glasses so I have cases lying around, so I store them in this drawer.
Chargers for electronics.
Earphones because I like listening to music.
My Instax camera is used occasionally for projects or trips for certain aesthetics.
2. Open your Handbag
I like to keep things minimal when it comes to what I’m carrying around.
My handbag consists of my purse, keys (which has more key rings than anything), a canvas bag, pen and lip balm.
My current purse I use often.
Keys that consists of actually one key along with a Swiss knife (it has tweezers and a toothpick and I don’t know how essential they are despite all the other thing stored in such a minuscule device) my friend gifted me and too many key rings.
A pen to jot down thoughts if any surpasses.
Lip balm because I’m a typical girl.
A canvas bag because ‘be prepared’ was a motto I learned in the Irish Girl Guides and I live by it to this day.

My analysis of Ajmani’s ‘Take Your Medicine’ Mugs and what information I have collected from her web site.

I used a ceramic pen holder for reference as a pen holder for my sketch.
To avoid creating an object that replicated Ajmani’s work, I opted for a pen holder.

I attempted to make a pencil holder with floral prints out of white air drying clay.
The clay was competent to say the least, but the texture was definitely not what I am used to.
It was more rubbery and lacked moisture fresh from the tight packaging.
I suppose it was something I should have expected but that wasn’t all that went wrong.
Firstly, the flower prints were rolled out on a mini slab (please excuse the lack of leveling as I didn’t have guides or didn’t use a substitute).
Secondly, as I cut out the rectangular piece to shape into a cylinder, it had cracked tremendously even though it was fresh and I had hardly handled it.
Thirdly, I tried to smoothen out the cracks but the water wasn’t much help, I was lucky to connect the cylinder without slip but I might opt to putty in future references.
Lastly, I kind of did get the shape of a pen holder.. but with lack of cleanliness and precision.
I lost majority of the floral imprints which defeated the absolute purpose of the piece inspired by Hessa Al Ajmani’s amazing pieces.

In response to the artist Hessa Al Ajmani, these images (via Ajmani’s Instagram) are of the mug pieces she creates that I am studying.
I am studying Ajmani’s functional mug pieces because all her ceramic pieces have sentimental value input into them and I truly admire that.
She has a series of mugs called ‘Drink Your Medicine’.

Hessa Al Ajmani is a visual artist and ceramicist that inspires my work involving the project brief ‘Response’.
Ajmani’s work is inspired by human psychology and the natural world.
I am drawn to her work due to the fact she is involving native wild plants and flowers to explore new techniques in her creative style and ceramic pieces.
