Working along side the metal and illustrator workshops I have been carrying on with playing around in ceramics. I have shown previously how I had tried to almost capture the snakeskin in wax, and unfortunatly it didn’t work, so after being taught how to work with slip I played around pressing the skin into the clay to create really delicate prints of the pattern, some I have left pressed in because once it goes in the kiln that snake skin will burn away and hopefully the indent of the pattern will be left. I enjoyed the process of working with clay but I am still waiting to see the outcome! (It takes at least two days in the kiln) I appreciate how delicate the pattern is, but am not confident about how heavy the material is. I think it contradicts each other, but then again so does creating a web like structure out of metal.
