Young Farmers Sculpture Project Part 3

Back with the Young Farmers at Surrey Docks Farm to finish making all the pieces for our mythical monster

 

Tanya adding colour to the wings

Billy sorting the jaw out

Everyone worked so hard! I think because they can really see it all coming together now and we were discussing how we are going to build it.

Kevin making more spikes for the spine

Poor Kevin wasn't feeling too good but still worked really hard : ) He was so poorly he didn't want the milk shake that the fabulous Frizzante cafe donated : ) : ) : )

Claws!

Emily & Scarlet in the zone!

Blusher didn't seem at all impressed !?

The pieces coming out of the kiln

It has been quite a while since I wrote here! Sorry Blog... I ve missed you too! It is not because I have nt been doing work, I ve done more than I have for a long time and I am loving it!
The new set up has taken lots of energy but going to the same space everyday makes life much easier. 
When I was first in I got a lovely little commission from a friend of the farm which was a nice goodwill feeling because I had such mixed feelings about leaving.

The little feet at the top were for a Holy Communion gift and I really loved the sentiment 
and it had been so long since I did something different in clay... it felt great : )

I looked at feet and hands a lot in my India sketchbook and I think I will return to them at some stage.

Speaking of India, I have tried to keep some of that spirit with me during the set up process and it has helped.... and I think of it every time I see Frances's lovely bunting against my beach-hut studio.  

 I ve been experimenting with hand building again

 And extrusions.

 I made some of my old 'twists' just for posterity - but as much as I love them the challenge is gone.

I am having a great time just concentrating on Play, just connecting with my creativity and my  inner child.

It is a great space to work in
