Hot Shop 8/10

Hot sculpted stem experiment- turned out less of a vessel stem and more of a candlestick, but I'm still thrilled with it.

This was attempt 2, attempt 1 died when I got too complacent and neglected the moile. Living and learning!

Stuff from wednesday. Made long skinny cups, rob demoed a wide low walled cup.

Tried to make some swirly stems but it's SOO HARD!!! Especially to get everything on centre. I tried three times each more successful than the last.

Process shots yeah... By Abi

Fruits of Monday- a few first tries.

First attempt at overlaying colour - didn't get very far down the bubble. Plus, it ended up too big with three layers of glass on it so I think I'll stick to waxing my jacks to hell and coping

Don't ask what I was trying to to with that failed stem- one day I'll look back and laugh

Last week's cups + sandblasting tests. Feels like it could almost stand on its own as an artwork.

tried to take some photos of work that hadn't been properly photographed before. definitely needs some editing ...

Notes from week 7! Astrid taught me blown foot and I promised to show her my failsafe punty method. Rob demoed optic mould stem in class.

Colour tests, surviving goblet, stem test. Came out of the annealer today but I didn't get a chance to sandblast the colours. I wonder how the sandblast is affected by going back in the hotbox and glory hole

Made another two cups so now I have two in each colour ! Yay!
