Ceramics Workshop

In the ceramics workshop I produced the pole that the rounded Perspex pieces will be attached to, and the piece that was inspired by Barbara Hepworth. I used a metal pole as a starting point when making the stoneware pole. I had to make sure not to make the pole too thick as it wouldn't fire correctly in the kiln. I then cut two slots out of the pole to make an opening for the Perspex pieces.

I made the Barbara Hepworth inspired piece of my sculpture by cutting the standing plate from rolled out stoneware then attaching a base to the bottom using slip. I then cut an elongated oval fro the middle of the plate and small holes for the wire to pass through.
