It's a cold, cold winter... Well, winter has finally hit - and it's sooo cold !!! I really don't like the cold, every winter we both threaten to move. It was minus 2 degrees on friday and the ground was completely white with frost, brrrr - now it's blowing a gale and making a cold day even colder! .....but enough of that... what about the art! Blue & White Anyone? I decided to experiment with a bit of blue & white porcelain this week. I had made some miniature landscapes for 'Trading Place' using some Traditional Porcelain, but wasn't sure if I should decorate the same way as I had done the stoneware ones I had previously made (see earlier posts). That's when I thought about just doing them blue. I really wasn't convinced in my own mind, but thought, hey... why not give it go - I could always wash it off and redo if I was really against it, right? I was still a little unconvinced even after doing it.... but they are growing on me.... Here's some of the results pictured below. Story Telling Cass has been powering along with more spirit figures and story dogs and is busily decorating them in her story telling style. Here's a work in progress shot (right) of one of her new Story Dogs which will be featured in the end of year exhibition. Sunday Ceramics Sunday Ceramics is now up to it's 20th episode - read along by clicking here and check out the other studios, always worth a read. New Horizons... We are also looking to the future and planning yet another exhibition, probably for 2016, as 2014-2015 are all pretty much booked out already for us - busy beavers that we are. We have already started the process of making pieces which will feature in this exhibition - name & venue yet to be finalised.... watch this space!!! ...and until next time keep creating!!!!
