Openfaced tree cast

After helping Mikyoung glue the metal pieces to her works (I held things and kneaded bluetack) I shaped an archetype block. A print will go on the open face with the slight suggestion of the 3D foresty design at the back...its probably over sized...but

Glass studio Concepts -3

So today was the big day, our 3rd year proposal presentations. Here is my powerpoint presentation...the smaller italic text is a short version of what I was talking about...however when I came to show this none of the images came out!!! So I had to do a lot of describing. Jane Gavan gave me a good pointer to Nina Simon's book that is published online the http://www.participatorymuseum.org..and then I linked to her blog
Jane also suggested an idea which I will most likely use. When someone has finished rearranging the archetype blocks, they take a picture with their phone and SMS it to me..good idea. I like it because it's private but I still get to see all the versions and there is choice! Unlike if it was hooked up to a camera or projector.  I don't think the presentation loaded..i'll try again later.

Studio glass concepts -1

The afternoon part of our glass major is concept based. In week one we went through the course particulars and then one by one (at random) gave a brief account of our summer break and outlined our idea/s for our project. Class interjections on artists and ideas and themes proves an interest in each others ideas.. Should be a good year!

Though ...I have SO much work to do..full studio presentation in week 3...eeeeeeek

Studio glass practical -1

Well, our first half of our Glass studio major is a practical skills based one. Brilliant! The class is a combined 2nd and third year one. We sat with Andrew and Marina to nut out what skills we wanted to be taught..ALL OF THEM! Well we came up with a good selection.

Each Wednesday morning will start with a demonstration, and then we work on our individual projects in a practical mien.
