In The Studio

 

I have been spending countless hours in the studio getting ready for my show at Luce Limited on August 3rd.  As I am taking a little tea break I wanted to post some images of work in progress.

Since the New Year

These are images from the first two months of 2013.

The gorgeous orchid was bought at 2am on January 1st by my wonderful sister and her boyfriend from a mini floral market that is open 24/7 and happened to be on our walk back home from the New Year's Eve festivities.  I am proud to say that 2 months later it is still alive and gorgeous, at last we have kept a plant alive!!

The little porcelain bits and bobs are some new jewelry ideas that I have been playing around with.

I have been enjoying using my own plates at home.  This image was taken while enjoying one of my favorite breakfasts - Wasa crackers, spreadable herbed cheese and cucumbers.

My birthday was in January and my adorable and thoughtful husband baked me a cake.  It not only looked amazing, but was also de-li-cious!!!

I have been hard at work in the studio working on a new plate design.  Above is the plaster model that I carved and will make a mold of.  I am hoping for some good results so I will keep you posted on how it turns out.

In The Studio

I have spent the past week making molds for my new tableware line.  I like taking the time to make my molds pristine.  It's important to me to apply the clean and simple aesthetic of my finished work to the whole creation process.  I like treating the molds as mini sculptures in their own right.

These are some snapshots from my studio today.

Currently I am working on a tableware set.  I have decided on the general shapes and I am now in the process of carving the actual models out of plaster.  Today I started working on a really small piece.  I had forgotten how tiring carving plaster can be.  I have achy wrists!   I need to do some wrist stretches.

New Studio

My new studio in Barcelona is slowly coming along. After many tiring hours I have finished painting my shelves. Now I have to put together the shelving unit, along with 4 tables. I hope to have images of a finished studio soon!
