ceramics workshop chat

Had a chat down at the ceramics workshop today to see what the technicians could suggest to me. 

Here's a few of the images I brought along to give an idea of the kinds of things I was interested in...

Claire Coles... embroidered & imprinted crockery

Claire Coles printed mugs with intricate 'wallpaper' designs & exhibition style set.

Lace crockery (found on etsy.com)

Hannah Lamb - I love the combination of useful & functional object/textiles/crockery/handmade finish...

 

I had some great ideas thrown in by Andy one of the guys down there, who's suggested I go in on Thursday and try some slip casting. Although this is an industry-used technique for producing pottery, it's easy to manipulate the clay and give it a more handmade feel... Let's see what happens!
