Alfonse is finished :) Updated pics in last post :)
« on: March 07, 2017, 11:05:51 AM »
Hello all... it's been a while since I posted here  :blush:

I haven't done much art lately. But I did recently sign up for a pottery night class just for kicks, since I remembered enjoying playing with clay some 20yrs ago at school (wow, that makes me feel OLD).

Anyway, after two classes I was getting a little over pots... I kinda knew what I wanted to do and figured I could apply the same techniques the tutor was teaching, and when I got busted by the tutor making Alfonsz (as I've dubbed him, lol), he was very supportive and I have my leave to keep working on him! I'm really enjoying it!

I still have lots of refining to do, and for now I think I will keep him to just the bust... but I think he's coming along nicely :)  I just hope he doesn't explode in the kiln or something!

Beautiful lines!
I can imagine him set in a "hidden" garden with greenery growing around him! Will be he an indoor or outdoor art piece?

What a gorgeous piece of art already! His figure is stunning from every angle, which I find a hard thing to do.

Thank you all so much  ^.^ ^.^

Glitterball, I probably see it as an indoor piece. Anything I put outside ends up being a prop in my daughter's outdoor games, lol!  :lol:

I think I will keep working on his neck and build up those shoulders... and then... I don't know?? Once he's fired he'll go a terracotta colour unless I glaze him. I kinda don't like the shiny/china look though, I'd rather a matte finish. I wonder if there's a glaze I could use to that effect - anyone know? I can always ask the pottery tutor next week too.  I could also always just paint him once he's fired... but what colour??

Questions questions!!  :lol: :lol:

Not yet. Still thinking on that! Either very dark or grey?
