I have a job! A part-time job at a glass blowing business called Okra, http://www.okraglass.com/ who are based in Stourbridge which is about an hours drive from where I live. Its a bit of a tiring journey but its worth the valuable making experience.
I am getting back enthusiasm for life and art again (yay, new tablets!) and I have decided to completely change the direction I was heading in with my work. Well lets face it I didn’t really have a direction.
Now I intend to title my project ‘The Oppulent English’ and look at the decor of English manor houses primarily in the Georgean period with maybe a little early Victorian thrown in aswell. This could take me anywhere.
I may or may not work on a series of vessels aiming to capture the spirit of the era.
I have it in my head to make a lavishly draped four-poster vase at the moment… It may or may not happen but I hope it happens!
