Took away bits of the mould. Since it’s been fired once it’s very soft to carve. Probably not great to do on the kitchen but the studio is so cold!
Beautiful shape. But feuded to reshape a bit.
Carefully balanced on top of the mould…ready to fall.
Canopy, new piece. Taking photos helps me see the drawing better. It needs to work structurally as well. Will add the lustre pieces next then do the second panel.
Moulds/paper
The moulds have been tricky. Decided to make the original from clay then go to slip casting them as ceramic so I can re-use them. Paper models help me see how the’ll fall.
