Progress with concrete pieces and Open Studios at Coburg House



I have returned from the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop with a very tall concrete piece which I will finish in my studio.I will be polishing and sandblasting  the surface so it becomes erroded, and similar to the the bowl form texture.
Both pieces can be seen at the Open Studios at Coburg House from 5th to 7th August

Project Space and Open day at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop


I am spending 2 weeks using the project space at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop to experiment with new large pieces of work. This has been funded by a Craft Makers Award from City of Edinburgh Council .
I am exploring the use of environmentally friendlier concretes to produce work on a bigger scale than so far I have made in clay.This is a new area for me and I am learning a lot. I am using bone and erroded rock forms as inspiration, as in previous pieces.
ESW hve an Open day this coming Saturday , 16th July from 11am to 3pm. There are lots of different workshops and activities going on, including a talk with me from 12 to 1pm.
