Life drawing - clay models

Hello everyone. How was your weekend? I went to a life drawing class yesterday. It was my second time. (the first time is here)  I relaxed and just enjoyed the session. I make small clay models, while my painter course-mates draw with charcoals. I started with something awkward, but progressed to more sensual and articulate pieces. Today, I picked the best six out of 9, and hollowed them out, except for the foot. I will do a reduction-firing on them again. I can't wait! (the previous models I made)

Clay models - life drawing

I asked the tutor for a male model for the next session. I have done two young female models, and would love to try male muscly body. My models are the parts of the body mainly because I was only able to see one side of the model, but also each pose is too short to make a whole body, so I focus on the parts I like.

Today, we did some reglazing of porcelain pots. Tomorrow we will fire them. I will have my presentation next Wednesday. I had already finished one draft, but I decided that I would change it a lot. So I must prepare for it this week. This time, which is my second one and the last one for this academic year, I will take all my finished pieces, about 25 pieces, with me, So I will have to think about packing, too.

Notice: Due to Royal Mail postage increase, all shipping fees in my Etsy shop will be increased from April. The last date for current shipping fees is the 28th March. 

Nudes

Hello everyone. Today I had a frustrating office day. Not everyday is a happy one. I finished work before three, walked dogs, and went to the studio. Luckily I could shift from one mode to another easily. I had a couple of bisque figures to finish, and also a head to re-fire. I will go back to finish all tomorrow afternoon.

Today I will show you the nude figures. If you remember I went to a life drawing class last autumn. I made small figures then. I kept four of them, and reduction-fired them last week. I am so happy with the result.

We will have another a life drawing this Saturday. I hope I have a good time again!
