This is a ceramic hand, produced as the final 3D piece of a given project titled 'Artist's Block', based around producing a self portrait. Due to playing music in my free time, I decided to base the project around that. This hand was inspired by Antony Gormley's 'Bodies At Rest I'. The large white circles with the smaller black circles on top represent the keys on a piano/keyboard, and the hand is in a position in which my hands are when playing a chord. The circular shapes represent the notation in which pianists/keyboardists read music (staff notation). It was produced with Red Earthenware Clay.
I know that everyone has posted images of these but it is special to us as a daughter spent a day helping to plant some of them. Vast crowds. Very moving display. Proud to be British.
Note: but our '3-course' lunch was not yet over. After ordering a single macchiato to finish the meal off once and for good, we were presented with an array of immaculate petit fours. First, I tried the brown and orange duo which were presented on individual ceramic cubes (each one is slightly different in color/design). The small orange box was a passion fruit and ginger marsmallow with a light crust which was tasty, but more interesting was the cep dark chcolate truffle, topped off with a fleck of Maldon salt. I joked that they should make a 'truffle' truffle (i.e. truffle mushrooms in a chocolate truffle), but I guess that might be too obvious for the obviously clever kitchen. Anyway, the truffle worked well as you tasted the flavor of the cep mushrooms, but not so much that it spoke louder than the chocolate itself. All in all, a delightful pair,

I love making these flowers as I feel they truly embody the inspiration, the medium, and the craft. As early spring approached I found myself captivated by the buds as the hardy plants began responding to a warm winter. At the same time I found myself wanting to clear my studio of the random bits of clay I had been collecting from finished projects. So, a 'let's see' experiment brought me to these lovely expressions of spring and ceramics.
The hand built stem and stamen are left bare to show the clay body and the tool marks of the building. The flower petal is thrown on the wheel and later attached to the stem, then glazed with the colors of spring.

My painted pottery through various stages
This is a piece I repainted after the final glazing because the final clear coat turned weird after firing. I repainted with regular acrylic paint and sealed it with a normal gloss sealer. I didn't change the inside of the piece because that was a regular glaze.
