1. I think it would have been cool to do the colored clay thrown projects when it swirls in with the normal clay.

2. I don't think i have a particular style when it comes to my art, i just kind of go with whatever i think of.

3. I think i have shown wheel growth in the fact that after i center it i can throw what i want no problem. I think i have progressed but not as much as i hope to next year. I feel i could strengthen in my hand building skills.

4. I personally didnt enjoy the blog experience all that much, I dont really think its necessary.

My final choice project was a bowl i chose to burnish it. I do not have a picture as it has not come out of the kiln yet. It has triangular line patterns carved out of it.

My sgrafitto jar project is currently in the kiln so i could not get a picture. I did mine on Twiggy it is a tall jar with a rounded lid, it has her name carved into it as well as vogue cause she was a model and her big eyes that everyone loved.

Rachel Walgate, is a ceramic artist who does multiples. Her work has been shown in solo exhibitions and has recently been seen in British vogue. Sh says her work "examines and comments upon our culture of acquisition, accumulation and display. The consequences of this strong compulsion to acquire, accumulate and hoard are now all too evident in the world we see around us." She displays her work all mounded together in piles and in baskets.

My cups from the cups on loan project went missing. They looked like a big cup cut in half that fit together to make one piece. Almost like a puzzle.

Twiggy, born as Lesley Hornby began modeling at age 15. Her small figure gave her the name twigs and she was then on known as twiggy. Her short hair cut, huge eyes, false eye lashed,  sculpted jaw line and end less legs were on every magazine cover such as Vogue and tatler. She was always dressed to the latest fashions. Later on in life she also turned to singing and acting. She proved herself a successful actress in television, film and stage. The model, actress, singer, and author is also a humanitarian. She is a supporter of breast cancer research groups, animal welfare and is a fervent anti fur campaigner.

“It’s not what you’d call a figure, is it?” [Referring to her own thin frame]

“I’m lumbered with the name Twiggy really. There was a point a few years back when I thought I’d stop using it and be Lesley Lawson. But every time I was written about, it would be ‘Lesley Lawson, otherwise known as Twiggy’. So my husband quite rightly told me to stop worrying about it.”

“I didn’t really know about Marilyn Manson – it’s not my sort of music, not exactly the sort of thing I would curl up and listen to!”
