I would just like to say thank you for everyone watching my videos and thank you to those of you who have subscribed to my Youtube channel. I hope you are finding the videos enjoyable and that it is giving you a better understanding of my art and art in general.
Looks like the channel is shaping up to be some kind of video blog.
In this video I thought I would talk about how people often see my ceramic sculptures as being made from plaster moulds.
Plaster moulds basically act as a tool to make multiple ceramic forms. For example, factory’s can often use them as you can pour liquid clay into the mould/shape like a teapot to produce multiple items quickly without them being made on the potter’s wheel. As this process has less physical interaction between the makers hand and the clay object, the resulting objects are usually very geometric and clean from makers marks.
People usually think my ceramic sculptures are made from plaster moulds because they are so precise. But acutely they are not as they have all been made using the potter’s wheel. I often throw simple shapes like cones, cylinders and spheres which I then cut up and join together to create these abstract ceramic sculptures.
