I have not touched clay since my last show! It's been weeks. Not cool. Many factors; the end of the school year for my girls, new roof on our house and next week solar panels, then I have to tackle a new bathroom. These are all much needed long overdue projects that need my attention. These are not the only projects in my mind.
Yes, this is what I have doing in the meantime. Researching all the new ideas and planning it all out in my handy dandy sketchbook. I have many ideas....perhaps too many. First I have to see if some ideas are technically feasible, some I might scrap cause I don't like where it's going and some I might not like the process. Maybe a third of my designs see the actual end result. This is o.k. It is great to come back through and re-visit old ideas!
But now I am ready to go! I NEED to make time however small next week to get in the studio and work. I am very anxious to share a new direction in clay with you. I remember a professor in ceramics once said that an idea is not yours till you actually create it. I think he was trying to stress creating our work and not just putting ideas in our idea vault and letting them sit. So enough of the sketching it's time to get my hands in some clay!
