is that you get to know what people really think. The last two and a half weeks have been amazing. I have had conversations about so many things. I could not begin to list them all!
But another of the best things has been spending time with the work and remember what it was during the making that was important.
There is a message about habitat loss and our impact on the planet. There were found materials involved. But at the end of the day I think the big one for me is ‘why clay’?
When I began the Masters program I was told that the tutor did not expect me to be still working with clay by the end. He didn’t know me very well! He also didn’t seem to know clay very well. He didn’t understand about the feel of the material, the magic of the kiln, the endless possibilities which had to be explored. Clay is intoxicating – it has so many ways to express itself. Below are 9 close up images from the exhibition. 9 ways that porcelain will behave with other materials. The options are almost endless.
