3rd!

This week Gunhild was not going to be in at all. So we were directed to finish makeing the moulds for the couple form and finish the repetition form. On Monday I began by sanding and finishing off the organic form, then in the afternoon I began to make the mould. Tuesday we had A days introduction to Glazes. In the afternoon we more specifically discussed what type of glaze we could use on our couple forms. For mine we talked about using a matt barium glaze to give a paper map type feel. As the two pieces had different surfaces, by using the same glaze a different effect would occur along the sharp edges of the geometric form and the smooth surface of the organic form. By adding more or less barium the could would deepen. For my repetition piece I thought of glazing it upside down so that the rim is clean and the base completely smooth in glaze. We talked of different application methods and not to use test tiles but to try on the cast objects themselves.
