Research Project

Tried to upload my research PowerPoint presentation but an error occurred so IL just have to try again later, needless to say the research week is over, the presentation has been presented, the brain storms have provided results and the initial outline of an idea has been planted. 
What a long week, can't wait to start getting my hands dirty.

Ranking Project ....

So.... the electives are over and the choices made and after many days of deliberation I can finally say that I have made my choice.  It took me till the very last min to make my decision and even now I'm not sure if its the right one, only time will tell.  Don't get me wrong, I really love sculpture and I'm excited about getting my teeth into the brief but there is a part of me that is still drawn to ceramics.
My overall decision was based on my own experience within the elective and the conversations I had with other students who studied either ceramics or sculpture.  After weighing the pros and con's and looking seriously at what I wanted to achieve I decided that sculpture could offer me more of a challenge and I just hope that it proves true.

Ceramics Elective ....

So here we are, the end of the final elective and im not sure if im any the wiser about my upcoming choice.  I have really enjoyed the last two weeks in ceramics and have learned so much about the technical side of this disipline.  The naked raku firing was amazing and I couldn't wait to see the result after taking the pieces out of the bin and chipping off the glaze.
