Luminaries, Lanterns & Mishima
Thank you all for your prayers, love, and patience! COVID bit me in the backside and I’ll tell ya what, you don’t want this!
Still not 100%, but I was able to do the drawing for our April project….and what a strange combination we have to work with this month (I’m kind of excited actually!
I was thinking about the best way to combine these two ideas. A luminary is a form that already requires the technique of carving, and Mishima is inlaying/embedding the design inside the clay.
My plan is to create the cylinder, then apply the Mishima technique, and then carve out the luminary.
I can’t wait to see what we come up with!
March Hobby Potter Project Challenge – Wax Resisted Goblet
Download the March GOBLET & WAX RESIST DESIGN Project Challenge
With January’s Mug project & February’s Carved Box challenge finally wrapped up in my studio, I felt pretty excited to get started on whatever next new project I randomly drew from our bowls.
As you saw in the video, this spontaneous project-choosing style brought an unexpected project on my, “let’s not do that anytime soon” list!
LET’S KEEPT IT REAL …Everybody has their, “meh” project…and goblets are mine! Yes, it’s true I was the one who put the idea strip into the bowl. Truth be told, there is something I need to learn from the goblet, but needed the pressure of accountability to make me experience it! I’ll probably go rogue, probably will chart my own path along the way, but the goblet will somehow bring about another level of growth to my clay journey.
(Que the motivational self-talk ). Let’s embrace this experience and enjoy it together…it will be great. At the end of the month, let’s toast our success in our handmade goblets!
