I been testing glazes lately, searching for a crawling metallic glaze at cone 10. The middle image here is the best I've done so far, I like the reflective goldish in the cracks. The problem with it is that is got over-fired, so it needs to be fluxed down further. Unfortunately, it's a touchy glaze and only a certain percentage of it can be flux, so it's not as simple as just increasing the % of flux. The top image is my last batch of tests, where I switched to a more powerful flux. Melted at the right temperature, but I lost the gold in the cracks. Bottom image is my latest tests going into the kiln now. Wish me luck.</div>

The simpler parts of the project died and are currently being reconstructed. The good news is that my hollow orb forms of pieces came out ok. I will update again when all is finished properly and assembled. I also think I will do this again soon with some alterations.<br />

It involved hanging pieces from each other barrel-o-monkey style from a larger base suspended upside-down in the kiln on stacks of bricks. The base cracked in the bisque bad enough that I deemed it unsafe to attempt such a construction and risk it all tumbling down.<br />
<br />
So I am remaking the base from a stronger clay, and reflecting on how many failures it takes to do something right. I will post step by step as I construct the new one in the kiln, so keep an eye out for a couple of weeks!Garretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05941062020902863760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630358711199992716.post-72301964280325922162012-09-30T19:06:00.001-07:002012-09-30T19:06:35.823-07:00Before...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm working on a piece right now that was largely inspired by astrolabes and armillary spheres.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some of the images I have been looking at. I love the layers and the ornate detail of these pieces. I also love that these once served an important function, and visually you can tell, even though most people today wouldn't know how to use them.</div>

Edinboro alumni Kevin Rohde recently shared this with me and I figured I would share it with you. I find it very interesting as one of the projects I'm working on involves melting/slumping clay. I am also interested in using the firing to alter the form of a piece. Cheryl Ann Thomas coil builds some very delicate cylinders and slumps them together in the firing. Here is here website if anyone wants to check it out. <a href="http://cherylannthomas.com/home" target="_blank">http://cherylannthomas.com/home</a></div>

Ok, I know. I haven't posted anything on my blog for over a year. Well, this post is shinny and new... although it pertains to older stuff. I though I would begin with my candidacy show that happened last December. I continued the work from my last post (pieces of pieces) and made a body of work that showed in Erie, PA. Here are a few shots of the show.</div>

Several interesting things were said, but the one I want to focus on now is the idea that the art critic knows more about your work than you do. It was said that many artists think that critics feel that way.<br />
<br />
The Critic on the panel responded that in some ways this can be true. The artist may have been moved or influenced by artistic movements, or social aspects that they weren't fully aware of, and that the trained critic may see connections to things that the artist didn't realize were included in the work. He also offered the disclaimer that the critic doesn't know art better than anyone else, but he does know his own understanding of art better than others know theirs.<br />
<br />
<br />
As an artist I was unsure how to take this. I <i>made</i> the art. Could someone else understand it better than I? But then I thought about the growing pains I have gone through, and continue to go through, in understanding my work. Asking myself why I made something the way I did, and not being able to answer except to say - I liked it. Moving from making intuitively to making conscientiously is a step that many artists seem to struggle with, so is the notion that someone else may understand the intuition of the artist better than the artist so crazy? Thoughts?Garretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05941062020902863760noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630358711199992716.post-69902591129483877562011-04-03T15:37:00.000-07:002011-04-03T15:37:21.254-07:00NCECA and facing myself.I am really glad I went on this trip to NCECA. In addition to enjoying a little sun for a change, I got to see a lot of great ceramics, and hear a couple of lectures.<br />
<br />
There is one thing that jumped out at me this trip. I suck at finishing work. Like, REALLY, REALLY, SUCK! Looking at all the great pieces on display, I was struck by all the different and great finishes people had on their work. At first this really got me down a bit, what was I doing in grad school? How could my work ever compete? Now however, I feel energized to do something about it. Sadly, the rest of this semester will be largely devoted to finishing work for my show, so there wont be time for a lot of testing. Over the summer however, I vow to find and execute better ways to finish my pieces.Garretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05941062020902863760noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630358711199992716.post-68058349242722243342011-03-25T09:39:00.000-07:002011-03-25T09:39:51.266-07:00Getting Back to What I KnowSo I have been exploring some new ideas this semester, and I am getting nervous about whether any of it will turn out. While I am excited about the possibilities of some new directions, and am certainly not done with them, I need good finished work to put in my upcoming show or to enter into shows, etc.<br />
<br />
So I am taking a step back and making some work that I know I can get to turn out. I also feel I can knock out work quicker so that I will have enough finished work for the show.<br />
<br />
