August 2nd, 2010! Porcelain.

Hello Blog!

Since my last update I have started a Flickr account to upload all my ceramics images. I am not quite sure how the photostream feature works, but I have made a couple of albums photodocumenting my progress in ceramics.

Today I began working with some porcelain for my bag tornado project, and I am very excited with the possibilities of this fancy clay body. I added some paper pulp to give it some extra hold before bisque firing. I also uploaded some photos of a vase I am making, and some shots of some work that Jenna and I loaded into the kilns last week. She and Ryan are making some beautiful folded porcelain boats for an epic installation in our town.

Everything is uploaded here!

Hello! Believe it or not, this bag is ceramic. I am currently making a very large and delicate tornado of ceramic bags that will take place sometime, somewhere in the future. If you are interested in featuring this work in a show at your space or gallery, please email me at katmartin@berkeley.edu. This week has been awesome. I have gotten so much done in the past month, and I feel it is really coming together right now. I only have two weeks left of my six week  ceramics class. These two weeks will be very hectic for me as I complete the two large projects I have set up for myself. I am definitely not slowing down. I have a lot more photos of this project and another one I'm working on, and I need to post them in a presentable way.

I am also considering working real plastic bags into this installation. I can do it!
Here's the pictures. The thumbnails are small 'cause there's a lot of them!



PS I JUST RUINED MY BLOG TEMPLATE. Trying to fix it but my eyes hurt.
