The art of ceramics is so entwined with Chinese culture that porcelain is also called ‘China’ in English. China is well known in the world for porcelain and the city of Jingdezhen is spoken about with a passion in the […]

One of the tasks in my itinerary was to find out about Other Books and So, an artist run bookshop in Amsterdam organised and hosted by Ulises Carrión that ran from 1975-1978. I’ve undertaken some desktop research to establish how […]

Dead Ends This blog post is about coming to a perceived ‘dead end’ in the research and then finding out that it’s not a dead end at all, its working out what happens next and making plans on how to […]

This is what it looked like when I went in to find the temporary walls in place. I was going to put my heads on theses walls which are opposite each other, but even after reinforcement the walls were not […]

Here are the final pieces cleaned up and honed. I’m delighted with them, but photos don’t do them justice. The lead has come up very striking, deceiving even, you would think they were in a different metal. Not toxic, like […]

Today I tested that all of the videos that I burned onto DVD’s worked on the monitor they are being displayed on, and I also checked that they looped, and everything worked perfect, very pleased with how they all look. […]

I chose to display some words related to my project on the wall and on the booth. I chose to use black matte vinyl lettering because it’s very clean looking, and I thought the style would go well with the […]

I am so very happy with the outcome of the booth idea. It has turned out very proffesional looking and with three of us it was fairly easy to construct at uni. I managed to use an old bed sheet […]

I want to display the catalogue and the business cards that I made as part of professional practice on my degree show. I think this would be a great way to get my name out there and will provide the […]

We have made the booth (me and my dad) and we put it together in my back garden, then we are going to paint it, then take it apart so we can transport it easier in the van to uni, […]

I have drawn up some plans (very rough and not at all accurate) and between me and my dad we decided on what measurements the booth was going to be. We originally were going to make it a lot shorter, […]

We are back in Blighty now and gradually acclimatising to city life once again. Let us fill you in on how the last day of the residency went, which was of course the day of the big Petanque tournament. They […]

I have the idea, as I previously explained to display the video of my brother talking about Zante on a monitor with head phones, so that it is more personal and intimate, rather then blurting it out for everyone to […]

This post is going to cover the first week of setting up my degree show. my ideas are currently not yet hear. i’m still optimistic that if I keep going how i’m going I will before long I will come […]

Tread Carefully We bought a rug in Tunisia
 but they kidded us.
 “I am your waiter – don’t you remember me?”
 Cajoled onto his catacomb tour;
 one thousand year eyes stared up at us. “My friend’s shop is better value […]

Well I have been so busy creating ,making and sewing and working on my traditional paper sketchbooks I have hardly had time until now to update my on line presence.I realise that it is important to keep up with my […]

This is a drawing from a few years ago.  It’s called “They looked like silver birds.  The sun was shining on them…” (this is part of a quote from an eye witness account of seeing the German bombers high up […]
