Ceramic Sculpture
For the last several months I have been exploring new creative areas. This is my first venture into the world of 3D, and my first use of clay as a medium. I feel that my painting work has been enhanced as a result, giving me new ways of looking at surface and color, and a brand new repartoi of technical skills. Probably the most difficult of this medium to master is use of glazes. Not that I have mastered them by any measure. I guess, some moderate control of glazing would be more accurate. Let me know what you think!
