CLAY SCULPTING

Last weekend I attended a workshop at Northcote Pottery in Melbourne.  I loved the day and was totally amazed that by 4pm I had a large, rather ugly looking head to take home with me!  I thought  would share the making photos and the finished head.  I loved this workshop so much that I've decided to make this a task with my Year 11 students next term!  More large, strange heads!       












'GARDEN DRESS'

Hello everyone, here is my submission for this month's theme for Art Club which was 'Garden'.  It is a little lino print titled 'Garden Dress'.  I just finished it yesterday after a little day using the press at school.  I was led by the idea that our bodies are like gardens and can grow and mend in such an amazing way.  And particularly female bodies - as we can grow babies! When I was researching  found an image of Adele in an amazing red Valentino dress which led me to making the initial ink drawing which I've included a photo of below.

Hope you like it!
