I have been working in the ceramics studio with translucent porcelain. I am experimenting with carving porcelain to create interactions between light and sculpture. I will begin experimenting with translucent porcelain slip cast objects, intended to be decorative (more so than functional - in terms of bright lighting) light fixtures. I will begin experimenting with high fire mason stains to color the porcelain. I am hoping to create varying levels of thickness through several different methods. Firstly I will use a simpler method of layering the slips and carving the areas that I would like to show more light. I will get more intricate when I begin coloring the porcelain casting slip itself and layering it the varied thickness I am looking for, displaying different colors.
I am bogged down by other projects that are part of my studies at SUNY New Paltz, as well as extra curricular activities. I am working as a ceramic representative for our department to organize and fund the upcoming ceramic conference NCECA. I am organizing the development of a recently founded Art Therapy Club.
The Wood firing was a great success! I will be posting pictures of the experience and amazing results!
