New Gallery

Two members of the flock are now for sale at Larks Gallery  in Ballater! 

The owner is a very lovely lady called Pip and I'm so pleased that my work is getting out into the world.

'Poised'

  

'White Bird'










Of course I forgot to take the wee 'care of your sculpture' zine so they are being posted tomorrow.

We had an excellent walk too.

Larks Gallery, Ballater

News today is that I was approached by the owner of Larks Gallery, Ballater to show some of my pieces in her gallery.

Things are looking up.

Of course I checked out the website and she has some very beautiful artworks there so going to take the two latest pieces up on Sunday. Even get a day out.

More news and images to follow.

Scottish Sculpture Workshop visit

 On the 3rd April I submitted Open Access dates for SSW as the 4th was their next time for looking at availability. I also emailed Eden the technician there and arranged a visit to ask for their advice on my next steps/time frame for mould making/if project feasible.

...Today was the visit day.

I was nervous as I always am meeting new people and new places. Luckily it was under an hour drive so easy to get to.

I pulled in beside the foundry and then Eden and Michael came out to say hi. I found it fascinating, lots of interesting and odd pieces of metal hanging around and made into useful objects. Just my type of place. Great reuse.

Discussion was positive, I showed the pieces I wanted to make moulds from and cast, and they both agreed it could be done in that time with me doing some work at home too.

This is the Beech leaf.                


 
 I had ideas for another of my plaster pieces, the Oakleaf column and the verdict was that would be fine too. 
 
Progress! The idea of casting these pieces is now beginning to feel attainable. Thank you VACMA and Aberdeen City Council for believing in me.
