I'm currently working on applications for my artwork, I'm very interested in incorporating it into homewear and clothing. So first steps, when you have no idea how to do something, take a beginners course or consult Youtube, I chose the former, having no idea where I could get some clay and a kiln. Yep, I'm talking about ceramics, I attended a beginners mug making workshop at the Manchester Craft and Design Center, run by the Manchester Pottery School. I do have to say my mug is abit weird but I love it for all it's flaws as you can see I predicted this in my design.
The plan for the future is to find more classes and have a go on a potters wheel. I would love to sell my designs on tiles or mugs, as these are items that can be a little quirky opposed to dinner plates. My homewear range would be singular stand out peices or smaller ones you could co-ord in a room. Sticking to little use of colour will help me to stay away from trends so much as I would never want the pieces to be kitsch or throwaway, hopefully handmade items you want to hold on to. I'm very much inspired by Moroccan tiles and the beautiful patterns in them, I would love to do some repeating patterns with my work.
